This is strange. Do you have the C++ plugin for GCC ? (also called g++)
Most compilation errors that followed might be due to that.

Install the X11 headers. In a RPM (or DEB) installer they're often called
"xlib-devel" or "xfree86-devel" or "xorg-devel" (depends on the distro)

libruby doesn't get detected because it's obscured by the GNU C++ problem.

Compiling GridFlow doesn't require Pd's source, apart from include/m_pd.h

Are you _sure_ you have installed g++ ?

That won't work, even if g++ is installed.
