Perhaps someone else better qualified can help you with the error.  
However, while we do try to help with old-pan (0.14.x) where possible, 
it's now officially unsupported, with the C++ rewrite, 0.1xx (currently 
0.132) being the supported alternative.

If you're just being put-off by the unstable label, don't worry about 
it.  0.132 is as stable as 0.14 ever was, and the rewrite uses far less 
memory and has better binary and automated multi-server functionality.  

Of course, being a rewrite and due to the same automated multi-server 
functionality, the GUI is a bit different now and some users, 
particularly text users, prefer the old 0.14.x version.  That's 
legitimate if no longer officially supported.  However, even then, I'd 
suggest trying the last in the series, 0.14.2.91, over the older 0.14.2.

You know... I don't even remember if 0.14.x was able to successfully 
compile on gcc 4.x.  It's possible that's the problem.  Have you tried 
one of the later gcc 3.x versions?
