Hi mrobsidy,

Have you tried the source code mentioned in [this post](https://discourse.gplates.org/t/compilation-failed-with-werror-uninitialized/322/2) or are you using the source from the public 2.2 release? If you’ve tried the former then can you send your configure error message (and what system you’re running on)?
