I don't think anyone's tested building the package with a GCC newer than 4.8.4 (or if we have, I'm not aware of it).

[bondhugula]

GCC 4.8.4 was released more than 2 years ago! All recent releases of Fedora (23, 24) or Ubuntu ship with GCC 5.x or 6.x. Mine is Fedora 24.

[lkuper]

Yes, we should take a look at this. It might be easy to fix with a compiler flag.

Although GCC 4.8.4 is still pretty widespread; for instance, it's what our Travis builds (running Ubuntu 14.04) use (and that is a Travis default, not something we set up specifically).

[ehsantn]

Looks like the error is caused by just including std set. Your system has Intel compiler 2015 installed, which is probably not compatible with GCC 6.2 since it is older. Note that ICC uses GCC for standard libraries. Installing ICC 2017 or using compatible GCC can solve the issue (https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/684551).

[lkuper]

@bondhugula Did @ehsantn's suggestion (making sure you don't have incompatible ICC and GCC versions installed simultaneously) solve the problem you were having? If not, feel free to reopen this issue.

FWIW, since my previous comment I've been testing ParallelAccelerator with various newer GCC versions and not had any serious problems, so I don't think that was ever the issue.
