Issue installing Plink

Question

[AndrMod]

I am trying to install Plink on an Ubuntu 20.04.

My compilers are

• g++
• g++-9
• gcc
• gcc-9

In the Plink makefile, I only specified the g++ as CXX_UNIX*.

when I run make inside the proper folder, installation starts, the get aborted with the messages

sets.cpp:771:37: error: redeclaration of ‘std::vector<Individual*>::iterator i’
  771 |       vector<Individual*>::iterator i = PP->sample.begin();

and

sets.cpp:703:12: note: ‘int i’ previously declared here
703 |   for (int i=0; i<snpset.size(); i++)

Eventually it calls for an Error 1.

I don't know what's going on.

I also changed the makefile by indicating the full path of g++, but it does not solved the issue.

Ha someone any clue on it which can help?

I'd be very grateful.

Can you try installing it using conda? That should take care of all dependencies for you.

Or even easier, download the pre-compiled binaries? https://zzz.bwh.harvard.edu/plink/download.shtml

I don't know how to use conda, but thanks: I will give it a look. At least I'd have learned something more.

Evetually I did't manage to install ia conda, but it's here on the laptop and someday will come in handy. Still thanks a lot!
