[help-GIFT] problems installing gift 0.1.13 and 0.1.14 in ubuntu 14.04 LTS

[Iacer Calixto]

    Hi all,

    I would like to ask about a problem I've been facing while trying to install gift on my PC. I am a recently installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS. While trying to compile gift from the source code (./configure) I first had problems with PERL modules I didn't have installed. I installed these modules (XML::DOM, XML::XQL and Text::Iconv) and then the configuration proceeded okay. The exact config command I run is (the directory /home/icalixto/tools/gift-0.1.14 exists):

    ./configure --prefix=/home/icalixto/tools/gift-0.1.14 --enable-multi-threading --enable-debian-config

    Then, I run "make" and have the following errors:

    (...)
    CAccessorImplementation.cc: In member function 'virtual void CAccessorImplementation::getRandomIDs(std::list<long int>&, std::list<long int>::size_type) const':
CAccessorImplementation.cc:129:28: error: 'rand' was not declared in this scope
     lPositions.insert(rand()%lModulo);
                            ^
CAccessorImplementation.cc:132:28: error: 'rand' was not declared in this scope
     lPositions.insert(rand()%lModulo);
                            ^

     lPositions.insert(rand()%lModulo);
                            ^
CAccessorImplementation.cc:192:28: error: 'rand' was not declared in this scope
     lPositions.insert(rand()%lModulo);

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

    I even tried editing the "CAccessorImplementation.cc" file and adding a "#include <cstdlib>", so these errors are fixed. But when I do that, new errors arise:

    (...)
In file included from ../../libMRML/include/CXMLElement.h:34:0,
                 from CAccessorFactoryContainer.cc:38:
../../libMRML/include/CAttributeList.h:80:8: error: extra qualification 'CAttributeList::' on member 'toXML' [-fpermissive]
   void CAttributeList::toXML(string& outString)const;
        ^

make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

    Would you know whether I am doing something wrong? The exact same thing happens both for the versions 0.1.14 and the 0.1.13 of gift, by the way.

    Thanks,
