Hello.
Just pulled ngsolve and trying to build, first using gcc and then icpc
both compilers give the same error below.
I tried -std=c++11 and -std=c++17 . any ideas?
Thanks
Peter

Hi,
which version of gcc do you use, or of the std library?
A cpp17 compatible version should provide std::is_same_v, I guess you have a version that does not fully support cpp17.
