Jeroen's script executes this (silently):

  $ pkg-config --cflags poppler-cpp
  -I/usr/include/poppler/cpp -I/usr/include/poppler
  $ 
  $ pkg-config --libs poppler-cpp
  -lpoppler-cpp
  $ 

If that works then the installation should work. It does on Ubuntu 16.04:

Note the

Maybe you are missing package pkg-config ?
