Hi,

Using the latest svn checkout gave the above error.  

I fixed it installing gcc 4.8 and g++ 4.8..
See 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/271388/how-to-install-gcc-4-8-in-ubuntu-12-04-fro
m-the-terminal
And http://askubuntu.com/questions/248079/how-to-install-g-4-8

Compiling now works, but after starting vinterm I get a segmentation fault:
$ ./vinterm 
error: invalid syntax on config file, ignoring... (syntax error)
Error opening audio device.

To be complete: version 0.5.0 compiles and runs fine after installing gcc 4.8 
and g++ 4.8 on elementaryOS (ubuntu 12.04.3)

Alternate fix: change selection.pop_back() to 
selection.erase(selection.size()-1)

For those of us who can't get an update to GCC.
