I'm trying to install ranger package (any version) in Ubuntu 14 from a tar.gz
file already downloaded, but unsuccessfully. System admin has already installed
gcc 5.4 and g++ 5.4 and I've created a ~/.R/Makevars file pointing to these
compilers instead of gcc 4.8 that comes in Ubuntu 14 by default. Ranger
requires gcc 4.9 or higher. That Makevars file looks like this:
CC=/storage/home/user/bin/gcc-5
CCXX=/storage/home/user/bin/g++-5
FC=/storage/home/user/bin/gfortran-6
F77=/storage/home/user/bin/gfortran-6
I don’t have admin rights and system admin can't change gcc path for the whole
server. Output error is this one:
=========================================

Warning message:

==============================================
It seems I’m missing some flag defintion in my Makevars and R is using the
default gcc 4.8 compiler, I don’t know. Any advice about how to procceed would
be very helpful. Thanks.
Kind regards,
Ivan
