Hi there,

Could you please provide some more information? Which Linux distribution are you using, and what was the full output from configure?

I think there are two problems:

• Your version of CMake is probably too old for our process. The CMakefiles specify 2.8.5, but that is not correct, I think > 3.0 is probably the minimum. There is a cmake3 package from various sources, e.g. https://centos.pkgs.org/7/epel-x86_64/cmake3-3.6.3-1.el7.x86_64.rpm.html
• a newer version of gcc/g++ will be required (> 4.9.x, ideally newer). On Centos, this will be available with a newer devtoolset, e.g. version 7: https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/devtoolset-7/

Thanks a lot. I will have a try.
