Dear all

Hi I'm completely new to R

Recently I'm installing chemoinformatic related tool written in R

and it requires Rcpp as a dependency

while i'm installing Rcpp I got following error

• installing source package ‘Rcpp’ ...

It seems the error is related to C or C++ environment but I couldn't figure out what is the problem

I use
R-4.4.3
Rcpp_1.0.14
gcc-4.8.5

probably the reason can be that the version of gcc seems to be too outdated, but I'm not sure

Any kind of comments would be welcomed

Thanks
