I also still have the gcc error which is not solved yet and still showing #error -- unsupported GNU version! gcc versions later than 4.9 are not supported!. I am trying to google and solve but I am very much unaware about ubuntu or linux for that matter and I need your help. I am in real time bound situation right now and a help would be really really appreciated. Thank you for your help.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/lib/i386-linux-gnuAnd then execute the command you were trying to use again. Source: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/1354124LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/lib/i386-linux-gnuand then didsudo apt-get -f installand got this. The problem still persists.
