The error message tells me that the configure script did not find a C++ 
compiler.
(This problem comes up occasionally - I should modify the script to warn and
omit C++ from the configuration, though I seem to recall there were arguments
against it).

To get back on track, you will have to first
        make distclean

Then, you can either
        a) re-run configure using "--without-cxx" option, or
        b) install the C++ compiler (probably g++, based on the "-D_GNU_SOURCE")
