[CWB] Problem installing CWB from source on Fedora

[Stefan Evert]

Off the top of my head: Relatively recently, we encountered a bug with multiple definitions of a global object in different source files (which new versions of GCC suddenly began to complain about after silently ignoring them for decades).

So if you update your source code to the latest version from the SVN repository, the error might go away.

Best,
Stefan
