Build on RHEL 9

[tashrifbillah]

Hi @RyanZurrin ,

Opening this thread to document our effort on building UFKTractography on RHEL 9. I reproduced your ITK issue:

/software/rocky9/ukftractography/build/ITK/Modules/ThirdParty/VNL/src/vxl/vcl/vcl_compiler.h:90:4: error: #error "Dunno about this gcc"

Given the above, I am going to downgrade GCC from RHEL 9's default and retry.

Progress note:

1. Boost had to be upgraded to 1.8.0 from 1.7.0
2. We are unable to build ITK because of GCC version incompatibility. I think @RyanZurrin ran into the same issue. Please see Tashrif's comment:
   Strip trailing spaces and convert tabs to spaces #157 (comment)

Tashrif is now trying with GCC-9.3.0 which was able to build current master in the past. However, this error resulted:

/software/rocky9/gcc-9.3.0/build/./gcc/cc1: /software/rocky9/gcc-9.3.0/build/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.29' not found (required by /software/rocky9/gcc-9.3.0/build/./gcc/cc1)

Tashrif is looking into options.

Indeed, this was the same issue I ran into.
