Answer 1

In my-case it was failing on Linux-mint 19.2, for some reasons on run-time gcc++ was not accessible. So by installing the build-essentials error was resolved. PS:

build-essential package is a reference for all the packages needed to compile a Debian packages. It generally includes the GCC/g++ compilers and libraries and some other utilities. Informational for list of build-essential packages can be found on build-essentials
