Giulio,

Your suggestion about aliBuild version was right. I switched from aliBuild 1.7.5 (installed via pip) to version 1.7.3 (installed from package manager) and problem was solved (GCC Toolchain is not build and process go to the end without other issues)

Thanks!

Hi Juilan,

sudo pip install alibuild==1.7.3
