I have an easier way of getting this running which works on the latest Centos-7 and I presume will also work on Ubuntu and other distributions.

First navigate to the linux/driver of the BSP.

Firstly edit aclpci.c: At the top of the file add the lines 
#define __devinit
# define __devexit

Secondly edit aclpci_cmd.c: On line 83 remove the assignment 
Change
    result = pci_restore_state(aclpci->pci_dev);
to 
    pci_restore_state(aclpci->pci_dev);
On lines 438-440 comment out (or delete) the statement 
if (dev->aer_firmware_first) { 
    return -EIO; 
}

You should now be able to run "aocl install" successfully.
