[Users] issue of compilation of ETK on Ubuntu 18.04

[Federico Cipolletta]

Dear EinsteiToolkit user support,

I am recently experiencing some issues compiling the ETK standard thornlist
(version "Mayer") on my Workstation with Ubuntu 18.04 as OS.

Once I could compile the ETK (version "Tesla") correctly but after some
recent upgrades, I cannot compile any thornlist within my machine. So I
tried downloading the ETK most recent version (namely "Mayer) and build the
standar thornlist from scratch, but I am always getting the same error.

I attach the compilation output of my last trial (namely the "ET"
configuration). In order to build the ET configuration, I used the
following command:

./simfactory/bin/sim build ET --machine=WS03 --thornlist=./thornlists/
einsteintoolkit.th >& compilation.out

The WS03 machine was defined by me in a "standard" way, and the WS03.ini
file is calling the generic.cfg, generic.run and generic.sub files.

The current version of gcc, g++, gfortran and cpp compilers that I am using
are the 7.4.0 GNU ones, although I tried also the 5.5 and 8.3 ones (always
getting the same error). In order to set the version of the compiler, I am
currently using the following command (for gcc - for the other compiler it
is equivalent):

sudo update-alternatives --config gcc

As you can see, the last lines in the compilation.out files are the
following:

Do you have any suggestions for me?

Federico Cipolletta.
