Help with a compilation error [Boost/Math]

Hi,

I'm trying to use Boost in order to find values of a 2F3 hypergeometric function. Just to check that I am using the package the correct way, I tried to compile the small test file below (using the example from the pFq docs), with the command

$ g++ -o test.exe test.cpp -I /home/peder/boost/boost_1_79_0


As far as I understand, the library is header-only, so I didn't expect the compilation error below. I don't where I've made a mistake, and I'd greatly appreciate any help with figuring out the error.


I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.04 on WSL and using gcc 9.4.0.


Best regards,

Peder


Test program:

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/math/special_functions/hypergeometric_pFq.hpp>

int main() {
    double z  = -9;
    double h = boost::math::hypergeometric_pFq({2,3,4}, {5,6,7,8}, z);  // Calculate 3F4

    std::cout << h << std::endl;
return 0;
}


Error message:
