Hi nschudlo,
I have not been able to get Cilk++ to work on Ubuntu 11.10, either. I think GCC has diverged to the point that the package is incompatible with modern systems.
However, there is a new Cilk language, Cilk Plus (yes, a confusing choice of name, given that the oldlanguage was Cilk++), that is available either through the Intel compiler or in GCC 4.7. The old Cilk++ is no longer supported, but Cilk Plus is actively supported in both compilers.
Cilk Plus Website: http://www.cilk.org/
Cilk Plus Forum: http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-cilk-plus/
The new language has some advantages over the old one, too, that will make programming easier.
Problems making cilk++ examples
Hello,
I recently downloaded Cilk++ for Linux.
I am using Ubuntu 11.10.
I extracted the folder to /usr/local and added /usr/local/cilk/bin to my Path.
When trying to run 'make' in any of the examples I get a lot of errors.
For example, when trying to run make in the qsort folder I get these errors:
