The trials and travails of my poor server continue. The hard drive upgrade went well, but right after it was done, some students on the server got…creative. One of them updated what version of gcc was on it for another project.

One of the primary purposes of the machine is to work as an RStudio server, and when I attempted to install Rcpp, I got the following error:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘Rcpp’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...): unable to load shared object '/home/username/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.5/Rcpp/libs/Rcpp.so': /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /home/username/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.5/Rcpp/libs/Rcpp.so) 
Error: loading failed Execution halted ERROR: loading failed

Oddly, this doesn't occur when using R from the command line, which makes me think that RStudio Server is having trouble finding GLIBCXX_3.4.20, rather than it being genuinely missing.

Does anyone know how to sort this error out?

Thanks,
Eric
