configure: No compiler with C++11 support was found
configure: error: Either upgrade your compiler, or use ZNC 1.4

Recommending 1.4 is not a good idea as it's old and unsupported version, doesn't check SSL certificates (https://github.com/znc/znc/issues/156) and is vulnerable (https://github.com/znc/znc/issues/621) to POODLE and FREAK.

2015-04-17 12:05:45+0300 < KindOne> "Either upgrade your compiler" is just too damned generic... be more specific, id say "Upgrade your gcc too 4.7.x or newer..."
2015-04-17 12:06:11+0300 < Mikaela> gcc isn't the only compiler, I use clang by default

Clang 3.3 and later implement all of the ISO C++ 2011 standard.

via http://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html

I have no idea on other compilers, but as far as I am aware, gcc and clang are the most popular ones.

FYI: The new Debian Stable (aka Jessie) now ships ZNC 1.4:
