I have R 2.15.2 installed on Linux Red Hat 6.2 and I want install pROC package but I get an error related to Rcpp package. Then I tried to install Rcpp with no success. How can achieve that?. I already have installed the most recent version of EPEL (epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm). Thanks!

Unfortunately, you are running a pretty outdated version of RHEL (I understand it is no longer supported) that comes with a pretty outdated version of R.

The current version of Rcpp requires R >= 3.0.0, which you don't have. Thus, you have two possibilities:

  1. You update your R installation to have at least R 3.0.0
  2. You install an old version of Rcpp
  3. You update your RHEL version.

Option 1 means downloading and compiling the latest version of R. If you choose option 2, you'll have to manually figure out which version of Rcpp supports R 2.15.2 (it appears to be the 0.10.5) and install it manually (R CMD INSTALL Rcpp-*.tar.gz).

I would recommend going with option 3.

  • Thank you for your answer. I didn't understand well, if Rcpp requires R 3.x, and R 3.x requires RHEL over 6.x, Do you suggest that I need to update from RHEL 6.2 to RHEL 7? – MSS Sep 26 '14 at 16:26
  • @MSS I don't know exactly what RHEL would come with R 3, but definitely yes, it would be a perfect occasion to upgrade your distro. – Calimo Sep 26 '14 at 19:11
