Installing SPro on ubuntu16.04(x86_64) - gcc

Question

SPro can be downloaded here,and it's installed by ./configure, make, make install. However, ./configure and make both arouse errors.
First, run ./configure, get the following warnings:
Try /large_dsk/share/upload/spro-5.0/spro-5.0/auxdir/missing --help' for more information
configure: WARNING: 'missing' script is too old or missing

Second, when run the make, get the following errors:
I searched this error, and get the method that add -lm in gcc command, but seemly it doesn't work.
And the total ouput is as following:
So should I install some libs first or the gcc version is not right? my gcc version is gcc 5.4.0.

Answer 1

I think the build script is just wrong:
gcc -g -O2 -o scopy scopy.o gggetopt.o -lm -L. -lspro
Since -lspro uses functions from -lm, it has to come first. See this answer for some background.

Answer 2

I encountered the same error as you did. I wanted to installed spro 4.0 and failed.
I have been tried a lot of methods like updating the gcc,and install different version gcc but it didn't work anymore.I think the reason of this error is that installing spro 4.0 needs a old version gcc like g++-4.4.
So I solved this problem as follow:
1.first install g++-4.4,
we maybe can't install g++-4.4 in directly,so we have to install or update by the command as follow:
$sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
$sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt-get install gcc-4.4 g++-4.4 g++-4.4-multilib
2.when installed g++-4.4 successfully, we enter the spro4.0 directory and run the install command,to prevent the permission of the installation,I suggest that we run in root or sudo:
# export CC=gcc-4.4
# ./configure && make && make install
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
