This is a kind of error that is difficult to troubleshoot from the information you provided. Generally speaking, your compiler is probably too old (despite them saying than anything higher than GCC 4.9 should work), or you are lacking proper program dependencies. You can save yourself lots of trouble by downloading a static binary from this page - I tried it and it works.
