I am no longer using ubuntu 12.04.

IIRC, g++ with 12.04 does not support  C++11.
You need to install GCC-4.8 from ppa.

See
http://askubuntu.com/questions/271388/how-to-install-gcc-4-8


Before install image package from octave prompt, execute below,

setenv CC gcc-4.8
setenv CXX g++-4.8
setenv F77 gfortran-4.8

I cannot test it so that I do know the above will be a solution.
