Installation failed on Ubuntu 16.04

I'm following the instructions and run:

pip install git+https://github.com/videlec/pypolymake

But this outputs a huge amount of text, with an error at the end:

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 and Polymake 3.1 and GCC 5.4.

Thanks for your interest.

The pypolymake code is currently very sensitive to the polymake version (and I did not test it since a long time). If you are interested by the code you would have to dig into it!
