Important: gcc and Ubuntu 16.04 Incompatibility

Vertica 9.0.1-9 and later 9.0 hotfixes now support Ubuntu 16.04. However, Ubuntu 16.04 ships with a compiler that is incompatible with the Vertica C++ SDK. To compile UDxs on this platform, you must install packages for 4.8 compatibility: $ sudo apt-get remove g++ $ sudo apt-get remove gcc $ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.8 $ sudo apt-get install g++-4.8 $ cd /usr/bin $ sudo ln -s ./gcc-4.8 gcc $ sudo ln -s ./g++-4.8 g++ To test your environment, install the packages used by the SDK examples (if you haven’t already) and then compile the examples: $ sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev $ sudo apt-get install libghc-zlib-dev $ sudo apt-get install libboost-dev $ sudo apt-get install libghc-curl-dev $ cd /opt/vertica/sdk/examples $ sudo make
