[gmx-users] Gromacs 2018 installation failed

[Elton Carvalho]

Hello, Qinghua,

The error message refers to the standard library. I believe the package
that provides this in ubuntu is glibc. Check that it's a current enough
version.

Another thing is that the liker (ld) needs to support C++11. That's the
binutils package. I've had success with version 2.29. Not sure which is the
lowest version required.

Good luck,
Elton
