deal.II installation faliure on RHEL8

[ajithperera]

Hi : I am trying to install deal.II with gcc/12.2.0 openmpi/4.1.5 via candi. I was able to get all the packages installed but during deal.II installation it fails with a message
Configuration error: Cannot compile a test program with the final set of
compiler and linker flags:
CXX flags (DEBUG): -fopenmp-simd -O0 -ggdb -Wa,--compress-debug-sections
LD flags (DEBUG): -rdynamic -ggdb -Wl,--compress-debug-sections=zlib
LIBRARIES (DEBUG): dl;

However, it seems like the actual failure happened before.

-- DEAL_II_WITH_SYMENGINE successfully set up with external dependencies.

-- Include /apps/gcc/12.2.0/openmpi/4.1.5/dealii/9.5.1/tmp/unpack/deal.II-v9.5.1/cmake/configure/configure_50_vectozation.cmake

Any help you can offer to get around this error is very much appreciated.

Thanks, Ajith
