You can try it as I have modified it, on my computer it works like this. Hopefully it will work on your computer too!

Hello there. I have the same error when trying to install this library (Ubuntu 22.04). The solution suggested by ChantMisaya didn't work for me. Are there any other suggestions or any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you

Hi! Unfortunately, this repository seems to not be maintained anymore. However, I am trying to make the library usable again: I updated the dependencies and the build scripts to develop bindings for Kotlin (see https://github.com/StefanoBerlato/kotlin-multiplatform-openabe/tree/main). If you are not interested in Kotlin, you can just have a look at the build process for the library, I hope this can help you :)

Hi kburova, I'm not sure which version of Ubuntu 22.04 you installed. If you have installed ARM based Ubuntu, you can try my solution on X86 Ubuntu. As StefanoBerlato said, this repository seems not to be maintained anymore:(

In my case, I use gcc-9 instead of gcc-11 to solve this problem. This problem is caused by failed installing Relic. It seems that there are some conflicts between bls-signatures and Relic on that version. https://github.com/Chia-Network/bls-signatures/issues/194
