Build 2129 has been built with GCC 4.8, and it may work on Ubuntu 14.04 now on ARM. This technique is how we manage to support 14.04 on i386/amd64 as well.

I wanted to add that I'm not generally a fan of the above suggestion. I know that I become frustrated when the above is offered as a solution, especially because 14.04 is a LTS release (although it is unofficial on ARM). I'll still be looking into building a version that is compatible with 14.04.

We're currently only testing and running on Ubuntu 15.10 or higher and Raspbian 8 or higher. Raspbian currently ships with GCC 4.9, which is what we're using to build Simply Fortran.

Ubuntu 14.04 shipped with GCC 4.8 by default, which does not provide the same C++ ABI as GCC 4.9. You might try:

1. Running apt-get install gcc-4.9-base to get the appropriate C++ runtime libraries, or...

2. Upgrading your distribution.

I'm not sure if gcc-4.9-base is available on Ubuntu ARM, but it might be. You can also try checking if a PPA or backport provides a valid GCC 4.9 or higher package.

I apologize for the issue. I'll also look into compiling with GCC 4.8 instead for compatibility, but I can't make any promises.

ARM Linux install problem

On a ARM7 based SBC (odroid) running Ubuntu 14.02, installation does not produce any errors.

When launched from the command line, simplyfortran reports the following:

simplyfortran: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.2.8' not found (required by simplyfortran)
simplyfortran: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by simplyfortran)

I assume this is a file version problem, but not sure what versions are needed. Any hints?
