Hi,

I received an error message during the make process. System info:

I would greatly appreciate your help!

I am so sorry for the delay.

It is caused by the version of gcc/g++ when compile the jsoncpp package packed in THUNDER.

Since there are the selections of CharReaderPtr in jsoncpp.cpp as below:
233 #if GNC >= 6
234 typedef std::scoped_ptr const CharReaderPtr;
235 #else
236 typedef std::auto_ptr CharReaderPtr
237 #endif
For better compatibility to clusters with old version compilers(gcc/g++ 4.x, usually using these versions for stability), THUNDER does not use c++11 standard library (without '-std=c++11'), and we only test on gcc/g++4.x, 5.x, which make the selection to be std::auto_ptr.
Under your condition(gcc/g++ 7.3)，it may select std::scoped_ptr . So c++11 standard library is necessary.

We have modified the code in jsoncpp package. Now, you can compile using GCC version >6.0.

Best wishes.
