Installation error

[LEO JIA]

I tried to install this on Fedora 28 VM and encountered this error after I ran the following scipt

$ mkdir ibmtpm && cd ibmtpm
$ wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ibmswtpm2/ibmtpm974.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf ibmtpm974.tar.gz
$ cd src
$ make -j5

Error:

My openssl version and gcc version are following

Is it because I am using a VM. I followed the instruction in the tpm2-tools repo.

I suspect that this was fixed.

974 is two years old. Is there a reason you must use that, or can you use a new version?

Thanks for pointing this out. I did realized that. I will go with the newer version.
