NgSolve installation Suse 42.3

Hi,

I had to reinstall NgSolve after upgrading to Suse 42.3, but failed. I followed the instructions on the webpage but when I run 'make' I get the following error message.

Building CXX object libsrc/general/CMakeFiles/gen.dir/bitarray.cpp.o

I had no error running cmake - any ideas what is going wrong here ?

Thanks a lot

Hi Mary,

you need a newer compiler, gcc-4.8 (which is the default on your system) does not support the c++ standard we need.

As written in the documentation, we recommend to use gcc version 6 or higher.
