I'm facing issues trying to install nodgit on my local machine. Here is the error message. Could you please help me?

I met the same problem and trying to install libstdc++-4.9-dev but errors:

You can try with libstdc++-dev. libstdc++-4.9-dev is a really old package, the newest reference I found was from Ubuntu xenial.

But should be enough with build-essential, and possibly libssh-dev and libkrb5-dev.
