Cannot compile on Linux gcc 4.8.1

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. ./configure
2. make

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the compilation process to finish without error.
But here are the error messages:

libtool: compile:  g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I./src -I./src -Wall
