I'm having issues installing nodejs libraries that require compilation on centos 6.8. looks like node v4 dependencies should be compiled with newer version of gcc-c++. I installed devtoolset v3 as suggested in numerous posts, to be able to use gcc-4.9. But it still fails with same error messages suggesting i'm still using a compiler that does not support c++11. I did strace and it looks like devtools does not provide libgcc where installation process expects to find it, so it ends up taking the regular one, which is gcc-4.4

setup:

[vagrant@localhost sflow]$ cat /etc/centos-release 
CentOS release 6.8 (Final)
[vagrant@localhost sflow]$ node -v
v4.4.7
[vagrant@localhost sflow]$ npm -v
2.15.8

without devtoolset:

[vagrant@localhost sflow]$ g++ -v

so, the question is - what am i missing in applying devtoolset to use gcc-4.9 on centos6? or is there another way to node v4 and pcap2 on centos6?

    Does the actual installation fail? What is the actual output of the `npm` command you try to run? The searching for `libgcc_s.so.1` in different directories is not really the issues here I think, it's a red herring. Please show us the actual output of the `npm` command. – Some programmer dude Jul 10 '16 at 07:30
  • @JoachimPileborg, done. – ilj Jul 10 '16 at 13:56
  • The problem here is your version of GCC. Version 4.4.7 is simply to old to support C++11. – Some programmer dude Jul 10 '16 at 14:58
  • @JoachimPileborg, that's exactly why i did not post full output - it's too much noise. i have split it into sections so that it's easier to see what's going on. – ilj Jul 10 '16 at 19:14
  • @JoachimPileborg is correct... try GCC 4.8 or later. – ZachB Jul 10 '16 at 19:16
  • @ZachB, please see my last edit. – ilj Jul 10 '16 at 19:17

    What's the output if you do `env CXX="g++ -v" node-gyp rebuild`? I'm not convinced that the newer g++ is being picked up by node-gyp. – ZachB Jul 10 '16 at 19:20
  • @ZachB, yes, the issue seems to be it is not being picked up. – ilj Jul 10 '16 at 19:34

    You can set explicit paths to the compilers/linkers that you want to use by doing `env CC=/path/to/gcc CXX=/path/to/g++ LINKXX=/path/to/g++ LINK=/path/to/gcc`. You might do better to actually remove the old gcc. It can be frustrating and messy to get multiple versions working together. – ZachB Jul 10 '16 at 19:36
  • Let us [continue this discussion in chat](http://chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/116939/discussion-between-ilj-and-zachb). – ilj Jul 10 '16 at 19:39
  • @ZachB, running env CC=/path CXX=/path npm install actually worked. feel free to post it as a solution. – ilj Jul 10 '16 at 23:22

A C++11-compatible compiler is required (e.g. gcc 4.8 or later). In the node-gyp rebuild output at the end of your post, it still doesn't look like your 4.9.2 installation got picked up. You can set explicit paths to the correct gcc/g++ binaries using env CC=/path/to/gcc CXX=/path/to/g++ LINKXX=/path/to/g++ LINK=/path/to/gcc node-gyp rebuild.
