Errors making cmdstan on cluster

Interfaces CmdStan

I’m trying to install cmdstan on a Linux cluster, but I’m receiving an error.

The full error is here (cmdstan-build-error.txt (115.6 KB)).

The start of the output is:

and it ends with the error:

I cloned cmdstan git with:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstan

created my make/local:

STAN_MPI=true
CXX=mpicxx
TBB_CXX_TYPE=gcc

based on a previous post, then ran make build.

Unfortunately, the system seems to have an older-than-recommended version of gcc (version 4.8), so am I also trying to resolve that. But would that be enough to explain why cmdstan won’t build?

Thanks.

Its very likely that an upgrade of gcc will fix this.
