Here are what seem to be the most common issues in a Linux install (#88), hopefully one of them does it:

(1) If this is a VM, then Stan requires at least 2Gb of memory, make sure you aren't running out.
(2) Compilers installed and up-to-date:

sudo apt-get install gcc-5 g++-5 python-dev

(3) If you are using Anaconda, then try conda install gcc

Does one of those do it?

https://github.com/facebookincubator/prophet/commit/0e76b79dde5ae8243a6ba4da1fa5ffe0bc748912 lists these packages in the installation documentation, hopefully this will help with this in the future.
