As of release 2.6.0 I intend to ship binaries. There are already RPMs available, Debian packages to come later. You could try to deploy the RPM using alien on Ubuntu.

Hi @tulsidas, I also encountered this issue on FreeBSD, when using recent versions of GCC. It seems to be caused by:

• flex that generates C code from lexer files, where the order of includes has string.h being included before stdlib.h
• gnulib that creates replacement header files, that implies this ordering
• probably some other compiler-related cause that I haven't identified yet.

I could make it work by using clang as the compiler on my platform. Can you give it a try?

# I haven't checked, I would expect the package name to be clang, please verify how it's labelled
sudo apt-get install clang

./bootstrap.sh
./configure CC=clang
make

@tulsidas you welcome. There is nevertheless an underlying issue that we must address.

Out of curiosity, what is the linux distribution you run? Is it just plain Debian?

Yes, Debian testing thou

Hi @tulsidas, thanks for the information. I see this version will be released by June 10th. I'll give it a try - on a side note, the project compiles like a charm on the current Debian release (11).
