cp2K installation error on Kubuntu 20.04

[Albert C. N. Assonkeng]

Hi everyone,
I encounter the following error during the installation of cp2K in ubuntu 20.04.
/usr/bin/ld: /home/albert/cp2k/cp2k/tools/toolchain/install/libsmm/lib/libsmm_dnn.a(smm_dnn.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [/home/albert/cp2k/cp2k/obj/local/sopt/all.dep:123: /home/albert/cp2k/cp2k/exe/local/libcp2k_unittest.sopt] Error 1
make[3]: *** [Makefile:141: all] Error 2
If I recompile as suggested with option -fPIE, I obtain the followin error:
ERROR: (install_cp2k_toolchain.sh) Unknown flag: -fPIE
I am looking forward to a any suggestion than can help me solve this issue.

Regards

Albert

Has anyone successfully compiled on 20.04? I had problems with the gcc compilers as seen above (though I am not sure that was the root cause).

I'm working on building CP2K on Ubuntu 20.04 and also ran into the
problem with GCC 9.2. Apparently, there was an ABI change (can't find
the link right now). Upgrading to GCC 9.3 solved it for me.
