Looking at the code around 377 (assuming my line numbers match yours),
it's just deleting some objects:
   365  //
   366  // this function destroys an  interpatch_ghost_zone  object.
   367  //
   368  interpatch_ghost_zone::~interpatch_ghost_zone()
   369  {
   370  delete Jacobian_buffer_;
   371  delete Jacobian_y_ipar_posn_;
   372  delete interp_result_buffer_;
   373  delete other_par_;
   374  delete max_ipar_used_;
   375  delete min_ipar_used_;
   376  delete other_iperp_;
   377  delete other_patch_interp_;
   378  }

The builtin C++  delete  operator wants a  void*  pointer, and it
looks like your C++ compiler is complaining about trying to convert
  other_patch_interp_  (which is of type   const AHFinderDirect::patch_interp *)
into a  void* .  Maybe the problem is the const qualifier.  I will
check into what the C standard says, try some test programs, and
hopefully have a fix within a couple of days...

ciao,
