ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘interp’

[bienb]

Hi, I couldn't get past this error when trying to install the package 'interp'. I've just installed the latest version of R (4.3.0). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm afraid that you'll probably need a newer compiler. What is your OS?

[bienb]

Thanks! It’s CentOS 7. Which one should work best?

[bienb]

Update: I just updated my compiler to the latest version (g++ 11.2.1) and this fixed the issue.

[Gabor]

This works for me: Replacing gcc with a newer version on CentOS 7 - CentOS

# Get repo that has devtoolset packages
$ sudo yum install centos-release-scl-rh

# Install necessary packages
$ sudo yum install devtoolset-8-toolchain

# Start bash that sees the devtoolset's version first
$ scl enable devtoolset-8 bash
# proof
$ which gcc
/opt/rh/devtoolset-8/root/usr/bin/gcc

# Compile your applications

# End bash session
$ exit
# proof
$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc

You should only need the new compiler while installing interp (and potentially other packages packages that also need a new compiler).
