Could you bug them to... update CentOS? :) [snip] > $ gcc --version > gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39) Ouch. You definitely need to install and activate an appropriate devtoolset as follows: $ yum install centos-release-scl $ yum install devtoolset-8 (Bug those people to at least install that). Then, put something like this in your .bashrc: $ source scl_source enable devtoolset-8 And you are ready to go with a fairly decent version of gcc, i.e.: $ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 8.3.1 20190311 (Red Hat 8.3.1-3) Iñaki > $ lsb_release -a > LSB Version: > :core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch:cxx-4.1-amd64:cxx-4.1-noarch:desktop-4.1-amd64:desktop-4.1-noarch:languages-4.1-amd64:languages-4.1-noarch:printing-4.1-amd64:printing-4.1-noarch > Distributor ID: CentOS > Description: CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (Core) > Release: 7.8.2003 > Codename: Core > > ______________________________________________ > R-devel@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel -- Iñaki Úcar ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
