Same error on Archlinux. I think gcc -v is the only relevant detail about my system. Basically, gcc 7.2.0 on i686:

Same as @nponeccop.

[thapakazi]

is this project abandoned, same-same like @nponeccop

I've been using it, but only on mac osx recently — does anyone have an updated copy of ttyrec.c it's probably just a case of updating the dependency.

I am having the same issue on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (rolling release) installing ttyrec.c with ruby 2.5.0 and gcc 7.3.0. Here's my output when trying to install showterm:
