I am trying to install orange 2.7.8, it crashes when running the setup.py, as shown in the picture (linked) the last lines in the stack trace. i tried the enter link description here. However it doesn't work for me. What could be the reason and what could be the solution.

/usr/include/c++/6/cmath:85:3: note: candidate: constexpr double std::abs(double)
   abs(double __x)
   ^~~
In file included from source/include/stat.cpp:3:0:
source/include/stat.hpp:33:15: note: candidate: double abs(double)
 inline double abs(double x)
               ^~~
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

Since you are trying to build the binary, you may not have the corresponding dev packages or their correct versions. Can you not install with `pip install orange`? – shad0w_wa1k3r Jan 26 '17 at 10:56
i had tried, same issue – Mohamad Alhaddad Jan 26 '17 at 10:58
Try using `easy_install` instead of `pip` then? – shad0w_wa1k3r Jan 26 '17 at 11:01
same issue again, since the problem in executing setup.py after downloading the package. it has to do something with the linux packages but i dont know which – Mohamad Alhaddad Jan 26 '17 at 11:04
Yes, makes sense. Related (comments on this page) - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-orange/ – shad0w_wa1k3r Jan 26 '17 at 11:06
same issue even there, i think – Mohamad Alhaddad Jan 26 '17 at 11:18
Btw, if you specifically don't need v2.7.8, then you should try [`pip install orange3`](http://orange.biolab.si/download/) – shad0w_wa1k3r Jan 26 '17 at 11:23

it won't work on python2.7, and i need to stick on python2.7 because am using SimpleCV which is directed towards python2.7 – Mohamad Alhaddad Jan 26 '17 at 11:47
Oh okay, all the best! – shad0w_wa1k3r Jan 26 '17 at 11:49
What is your gcc version (gcc -v) – Hannu Jan 26 '17 at 13:02
gcc version 6.2.0 20161005 – Mohamad Alhaddad Jan 26 '17 at 13:45
That's what I thought. This is most likely gcc6 issue, see my answer below. Other packages fail to compile with it as well, with exactly the same error. – Hannu Jan 26 '17 at 13:48
@Hannu your answer below? – K3---rnc Jan 27 '17 at 10:22
Deleted it as it did not help the person asking the question. Basically I suggested downgrading to gcc/g++ 5 temporarily as it has helped resolve exactly the same error with another package. http://askubuntu.com/questions/724872/downgrade-gcc-from-5-2-1-to-4-9-ubuntu-15-10 explains how to do this with update-alternatives. – Hannu Jan 27 '17 at 11:57
I have done what you have said @Hannu. However, it seems there is a missing package in compiling or there is an error in compiling. I couldn't find any ready compiled package as it has been in windows. I don't know what to do actually.! – Mohamad Alhaddad Jan 27 '17 at 13:09
