I have already tried the latest version of PPL and installed it
successfully but it didn't solved my problem, actually I need exact
that version (ppl 0.9) to compile PHAVer because due to change in
PPL interface PHAVer doesn't work and generates bunch of errors. I
will be very glad if you guide me to configure PPL-0.9.
Dear Syed,
as I said, PPL 0.9 is no longer maintained: you really have to
use the latest version.  Adapting PHAVer to use the new version
is straightforward: I attach a minimal patch to this effect.
I also CC Goran Frehese hoping he will consider to incorporate
the changes in the main distribution for the benefit of others.
Kind regards,
Roberto

Hello.

PPL 0.9 is a very old release and it is no longer maintained.
Please download the latest version and use that one.

This was fixed 6.5 years ago:

commit f31fe07c6482a3fd5175a3400d0521c795bfb408
Author: Roberto Bagnara <bagnara@cs.unipr.it <mailto:bagnara@cs.unipr.it>>
Date:   Sat Dec 29 17:42:00 2007 +0000

    Include <cstdlib> for exit().

What are you trying to achieve by defining C_INCLUDE_PATH, CXX_INCLUDE_PATH
and LIBRARY_PATH this way?
Kind regards,
