libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found

[chelauk]

I am attempting to install spp on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.4 (Maipo) R version 3.6.0 (2019-04-26) -- "Planting of a Tree"

using install.packages

compilation goes fine until:

R byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading ** help * installing help indices building package indices ** testing if installed package can be loaded from temporary location Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘spp’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...): unable to load shared object '/lustre/home/user/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/00LOCK-spp/00new/spp/libs/spp.so': /shared/ucl/apps/gcc/4.9.2/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by /lustre/home/user/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/00LOCK-spp/00new/spp/libs/spp.so) Error: loading failed Execution halted ERROR: loading failed

• removing ‘/lustre/home/user/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/spp’

I do not have root privileges on this system,

any advice?

Many thanks

Hi Chelauk, sorry for the late reply. The problem is not caused by spp but by a missing library (libstdc++.so). You can install the library system-wide (ask your system administrator) or locally. Kind regards
