What is cc1plus
It's the internal name of the C++ compiler front end. Apparently, the code you're trying to compile calls the C++ compiler as `gcc', whereas it should invoke it as `g++' (they're different in "stable"). Try telling that to the code, i.e. via "env CXX=g++ ./configure" or "make CXX=g++".
