Error Building GDAL 1.11.0 on Ubuntu 14.04

I get a error: 'error_ptr' was not declared in this scope after running "./configure", then "make". Larger output:

I see a /usr/local/include/json-c, so you're probably using an unexpected version. There's a libjson-c provided by Ubuntu 14.04. Why not using it ? Otherwise you could ./configure --with-libjson-c=internal

I've just compiled succesfully GDAL against the standard libjson-c provided by Ubuntu 14.04. So I do suspect an older version installed in your /usr/local
