Now that I got the termite rant out of the way.... apt-get install gcc-4.8 update-alternatives alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 1
This installs a working gcc compiler (before the termites arrived). Beware that this changes gcc to version 4.8 which is NOT what you probably want. I am going to fix the 18.04 version but it will take a while. The gcc libraries appear to have been "reorganized" by some termite. I have to reverse-engineer that "fix" and figure out how to write new, "correct" code. You can, as an alternative, do: docker pull daly/axiom docker run -i -t daly/axiom axiom <rant> Ubuntu used to be a developer platform. However, 18.04 does not even include 'make' or 'xterm' by default. Some termite has taken over the teams at Ubuntu, likely trying to turn it into a user-affectionate platform. Stewart Feldman introduced make in 1976. Everybody and his grandmother uses it. Now it is no longer standard in a unix-like system?
