Boost Fails

[NamrataHadimani12]

I am running my command to compile Moses ToolKit on Ubuntu 20.04 using the following command and get the below issue

./bjam --with-cmph=/home/namrata/smt/cmph-2.0 -j4

You MUST do 3 things before sending to the mailing list:

1. Subscribe to the mailing list at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/moses-support
2. Attach build.log.gz to your e-mail
3. Say what is the EXACT command you executed when you got the error ERROR

I'm closing this, because you have the wrong "moses" -- you are talking about a language system called "moses-smt". This moses is completely unrelated, its a machine learning system that happens to have the same name.

Also: I see the string "gcc-4.8" in your error messages. This is an extremely old compiler -- maybe ten years old, now. You should almost certainly update to something modern, or clean out whatever location that old stuff is coming from. That might make your bug go away.
