When asking for help with compilation problems the best thing to do  
is post a few lines of the ACTUAL output from the compiler, copied &  
pasted from the machine you compiled on. Usually it is best to copy  
from the command prompt after the compile has failed, highlighting  
upwards up until the first "error" line is displayed (not warnings,  
these are not critical) and then one line before that; paste this  
output into your email, or into a text file and attach that.

Assuming you did actually install properly & correctly - and it helps  
us if post something that indicates that (even if it is just "I ran  
setup.sh from the commandline and configured the install for this  
host", although it's better to post relevant parts of your config  
files, both to prove to us that you've done correctly and so we have  
more information to look in for mistakes and to help you) - then this  
_sounds_ to my inexpert ears like a library problem.
Did you have all the appropriate dependencies installed before  
compiling?
Which version of libstdc++ do you have installed?
I think binary distros may have a "dev-" version of some binaries,  
which includes the source to compile against, rather than just binary  
libs for binary packages to link against. (sorry - I don't know much  
about this, I use Gentoo)

Googling for "pseudo-op .weakref undefined" produced some surprising  
results - the first posts in Google that refer to this seem to refer  
to different architectures and the non-Linux Unix AIX.
What distro are you using, please?
What CPU hardware?
Which version of gcc?
