Unable to compile without errors about paragraph

[pkrusche]

Are you sure the correct version of g++ is being used? From the include paths in the errors it looks like the compiler being used is g++ 4.8. The right compiler version can be set using update-alternatives in Ubuntu: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7832892/how-to-change-the-default-gcc-compiler-in-ubuntu (or using the CXX environment variable before running cmake, also it is important to reset the CMake cache / empty the build folder after changing this).

[MaestSi]

You were right, I was using the old g++ version; I thought it was enough to have the new one in the PATH environment variable before the other version, and that when performing which g++ I had the correct version, but that is not true.
So, I set:
export CXX=/mnt/cifs01/simone/software/gcc-7.3.0/bin/g++
and I emptied the build folder; I had already exported the Boost library with:
export BOOST_ROOT=/mnt/cifs01/simone/software/boost_1_58_0/
However, another error occurs:

Any other suggestions?

If you compiled Boost with the old compiler version then you will need to rebuild it with gcc 7 and use that one. Gcc 4 and 7 are not compatible when it comes to linking (see https://github.com/Illumina/paragraph#library-dependencies for some help on building Boost).

Thank you again, there was a problem in my Boost library. When using the embedded one with -DUSE_SYSTEM_BOOST=FALSE all went smoothly.

Maybe not a consequence of compilation errors (I didn't get any), but while when I run ./bin/paragraph -h the help message is printed out, when I try the example instruction I get some errors.
In particular, the command is:
python3 ./bin/multigrmpy.py -i share/test-data/round-trip-genotyping/candidates.json -m share/test-data/round-trip-genotyping/samples.txt -r share/test-data/round-trip-genotyping/dummy.fa -o ./test
And the error is:

File "./bin/multigrmpy.py", line 302
raise Exception(f"Cannot create alignment output directory: {alignment_directory}")
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I also tried with absolute path but nothing changed.
Thanks,

I tried with another python version (the previous one was 3.4.3). I had to pip install intervaltree module on the newer python version, but now everything works.
Thanks again.
