A first suggestion: change your locale so that compiler error messages appear in English. That will significantly expand the pool of people who may be able to make further suggestions.

Second: without understanding the actual messages, I'd say it looks like gr::Segment has a copy constructor whose declaration is lacking 'const' on its source argument. You can probably just add that (at Segment.cpp:436 and Segment.h:67), unless there's some reason why the copy constructor really needs a non-const source reference -- which would seem like a poor design. (And report the issue upstream to the graphite project.)
