<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>These are usually caused by using an old C++ library with the Intel compiler. See eg <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2115#comment-54832951" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2115#comment-54832951</a> in <a href="https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2115/supermike-ii-fails-to-compile" rel="nofollow" title="supermike II fails to compile" class="ap-connect-link"><s>#2115</s></a> .</p>
<p><a href="https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2115/supermike-ii-fails-to-compile" rel="nofollow" title="supermike II fails to compile" class="ap-connect-link"><s>#2115</s></a> is also on Spruce Knob and at that point there was not correct library available, yet that may have changed in particular if you are also using a different Intel compiler. </p>
<p>That ticket also links to Intel compatibility chart of C++ libraries and compilers: <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-c-compiler-170-for-linux-release-notes-for-intel-parallel-studio-xe-2017" rel="nofollow">https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-c-compiler-170-for-linux-release-notes-for-intel-parallel-studio-xe-2017</a></p>
<p>Bascially you pass a <code>-gxx-name /path/to/g++</code> to <code>icpc</code> and it uses that to find out which stdc++ library to use.</p>
