when I build slicer on ubuntu1804 with latest code, some error happens.

```auto

ITK:

```auto
$ git branch

  welcome

```

Slicer:

```auto
git reflog

ced36e5fa (origin/nightly-master) HEAD@{1}: pull: Fast-forward

```

cmake

```auto
 cmake --version
cmake version 3.15.0

CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).

```

How can I fix this bug?

You can see on the [dashboard](http://slicer.cdash.org/index.php?project=SlicerPreview) that Slicer builds without problems on Linux. Maybe try with the same tools as used on the dashboard computer (CMake version, compiler, etc.), and maybe also try to uninstall any system ITK, VTK, HDF5 libraries.
