I'm having this error when trying to install ggiraph in R (RStudio Server on an linux based AWS instance, new RStudio and R versions).

Can't find any advice anywhere for linux systems (only for OS X).

Did anybody encounter the same problem and how did you solve it?

Thank you!

In my case for this problem, my solution is update the linux GCC version. Type the script on your terminal to update GCC.

gcc -v            ## to check your gcc version(original centos 7 seems 2.5.4)

and refer to this article to update the developer tool 8 https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/devtoolset-8/

On CentOS, install package centos-release-scl available in CentOS repository:

sudo yum install centos-release-scl

On RHEL, enable RHSCL repository for you system:

sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms

Install the collection:

sudo yum install devtoolset-8

Start using software collections:

scl enable devtoolset-8 bash

Check your GCC version is latest:

gcc -v      #### Now GCC version should be 8.3.1 20190311

Into the R to install ggiraph on terminal:

sudo R

Install the ggiraph package:

install.packages('ggiraph', repos='http://cran.us.r-project.org')

Quit the terminal R

q() # type "n" to not save workspace image

And switch to rstudio console, library the ggiraph package

library(ggiraph)

All ggiraph function are able to work now! :D
