Thanks for the report. This issue is triggered by changes to the sparse matrix code in a recent version of the Armadillo linear algebra library. I intend to investigate, but in the mean while, the workaround is to use the slightly older version of Armadillo that is provided in third_party/armadillo-code. You can either run just run the entire third_party/install_third_party.sh script, as suggested in the build instructions for linux or mac, or manually as detailed in the third_party/install_third_party.sh script.

Let me know if you need the latest version of Armadillo for something else - in this case, you would need a more fiddly workaround.
