Error: Bigdft build phase make issues
-------------------------------------

```*** Error during phase build of bigdft: ########## Error running make -j 5  *** [12/12]```

This issue was fixed in an earlier release, however, if the following lines are present in the output::

	/usr/bin/ld: /home/pi/bigdft-test/build/install/lib/libfutile-1.a(f_plugin.o): undefined reference to symbol 'dlsym@@GLIBC_2.2.5'
	/usr/bin/ld: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
	collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Try to add ``"LIBS=-ldl -lstdc++"`` to the env_configuration in the rcfile you are using to build.
