#2547: Compilation failure: "invalid type" errors in Vectors vmask code

Reporter: Bernard Kelly Status: new Milestone: ET_2021_05 Version: ET_2021_05 Type: bug Priority: major Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn

Comment (by Roland Haas):

These are usually caused by using an old C++ library with the Intel compiler. See eg [https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2115#comment-54832951%5...) in #2115 .

#2115 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.

That ticket also links to Intel compatibility chart of C++ libraries and compilers: [https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-c-compiler-170-for-linux-rel...)

Bascially you pass a `-gxx-name /path/to/g++` to `icpc` and it uses that to find out which stdc++ library to use.
