[Rcpp-devel] version GLIBCXX not found

[Peter Carr]

I am getting an error installing Rcpp from source with R-2.15.3 and Rcpp 0.10.5:
     /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found
I am working in a non-standard environment; running R on a compute cluster, 
similar to this thread:
https://github.com/molpopgen/devnotes/wiki/Rcpp-and-compiler-flags
Compute nodes on the cluster use 'environment modules' to load the environment 
at runtime. E.g.
     module load R-2.15
     Rscript ...
In my particular case we are using 'dotkit' but the concept is the same. I don't 
have permission to change the R installation; nor is it an option to update the 
compute node VM or the version of R. I'd like to know what environment variables 
to set to force g++ to use the correct flags.
     # R installation dir
     /pkgs/r_2.15.3

     # custom package location
     ~/rhel6/Library/R/2.15


On my system, I have two different locations for the libstdc++.so.6 file.
     /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
     /pkgs/gcc_4.9.0/lib64/libstdc++.so.6

  The GLIBCXX in /pkgs is the correct version (GLIBCXX_3.4.20); the one in 
'/usr/' is missing that version.

Here is a trace ...
