The pigpio module depends on nan which in turn requires a C++ 11 compiler.

If you are using a fairly recent version of Raspbian as the operating system on your Raspberry Pi then everything should work correctly. To the best of my knowledge gcc 4.8 or higher is needed to compile pigpio and nan when installing pigpio. Check which version of gcc is being used with the command gcc --version. Is the version number 4.8 or higher?

Raspbian Wheezy (which is now quite old) comes with gcc 4.6. This article explains how to install gcc 4.8 on Raspbian Wheezy.

Thanks, I was able to upgrade gcc and all is well now.
