How do I point r to the correct gcc?












0














I'm trying to compile lubridate on a Centos/RHEL server from within Rstudio server, but it fails. In exchanges with the lubridate author, I was told that the Centos default gcc is quite old (4.4.7) and was told to update. I did so (after some challenges) and now when I give the gcc --version command at the shell prompt I get gcc (GCC) 7.3.1 20180303 (Red Hat 7.3.1-5). But I still get the compile error.



Which gcc returns /opt/rh/devtoolset-7/root/usr/bin/gcc



But one of the error messages is /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.7/../../../../include/c++/4.4.7/typeinfo:36: error: expected ‘}’ before end of line which suggests R is looking in the wrong place for the gcc info.



I tried creating a Makevars file in ~/.R with the following
commands from this link



  CC=gcc-7.3.1
CXX=g++7.3.1
CXX_STD=CXX11
CXX1X=g++7.3.1


I restarted RStudio, which also starts a new R session. But the compilation process for lubridate still fails.
