You have of course installed g++, right ?
(C compiler is probably install by default, but IIRC not the C++ one)

In fact, you should have installed (with all dependencies):

    g++
    libboost-all-dev
    libpng12-dev
    libjpeg62-dev
    libtiff4-dev
    libopenexr-dev
    libsdl1.2-dev

(the "version" might vary, this was for 11.10, but I hope you get the idea)

Just because nobody complains does not mean all parachutes are perfect.
