Hello,
I found several archived posts with this same error/question. However, I never saw a reply other than don't try to build it. I need to build a user version of RStudio on a large HPC cluster running Red Hat 6 to support a Grand Challenge project. I would very much appreciate knowing how. Thanks for any insight.

See the wiki articles for some extra instructions on how to build RStudio:

Building with Docker

Thanks. I think I figured out my trouble. Or at least one trouble. Our system has a root set of libraries used to install system patches from the vendor. They are very old but consistent with model of supercomputer. As software maintainers, we have multiple versions of compilers in modules. These can be in the front of the path, ex: /N/soft/rhel6/gcc/5.3.0/bin:/usr/bin However, the package is jumping on the /ust/bin. How do I tell it to do look where I would like? Somehow multiple loading of the cmake module got it to look at the newer version, but that has not helped with the compiler. Below may help. Thanks for looking at this. Ray

Sorry the formatting of the paste came out funny. I first did a "which g++" then I tried a few exports.
Ray again.

You might be able to use:

cmake \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/path/to/c/compiler \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/path/to/c++/compiler \
...

Great! Thanks! That moved things along:

Now I can go back and try to follow the rest of the directions. Thanks again.
