With the above and the fact that you could build it with a VM then it's clear 
that you have a package mismatch somewhere. Maybe a PPA, maybe some incomplete 
update...

At this point, and in my point of view, you should be asking in an ubuntu help 
channel.

Flags for linking. What exactly? I don't know.

Don't. That's not necessary, you only need root for installing. Some people 
even consider building stuff as root as a security issue.
