Failed to build when run command "bazel build tensorflow/examples/image_retraining:retrain"
I'm trying to build tensorflow on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with python 2.7, no GPU. when I run the following command on terminal followed from this tutorial:
bazel build tensorflow/examples/image_retraining:retrain

it says failed to build with log:

Here's my build environment:
OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit with RAM 12Gib
gcc version: 4.8.4
python version: 2.7.6
bazel version: 0.3.2
git version of tensorflow souce: v0.11.0rc0-1541-g3737ac3
Does anyone have idea to fix this error? Thanks a lot! 

@David thanks for your help, it seems my ./configure result is not as expected.
I finally build successful by the following steps

sync tensorflow source to HEAD
run ./configure again, if have any error, refer to this.
run the build command again
bazel build tensorflow/examples/image_retraining:retrain

And my build result will have no error.

No problem, glad to help. Please click accept on my answer or any answers that resolved your problem.
