Additional context I have verified with Dr Davis that my cmake works.

This is a problem with your C++ library, not with SuiteSparse.

gcc 6.1.0 should be fine, as it fully supports C++11 (and 14 and most of 17). Also, the current version of Mongoose in SuiteSparse doesn’t even require C++11, so that shouldn’t be a show-stopper either way.

It seems to be a problem with different versions of GCC compiling different portions of the code, or an outdated version of libstdc++. Ultimately, a version mismatch in the toolchain. I would suggest trying:

yum upgrade libstdc++

or attempt to explicitly link with the version that comes with GCC 6.

Thank you. I will try that and let you know. But can you confirm the steps I took?

[DrTimothyAldenDavis]

The steps you used are fine. It's your library setup for gcc and/or libc++11 that is broken.
