Error related to compilation when using install.packages

Question

I am using R 3.3.3 on raspbian. I'm trying to install packages, and most have worked with no problem. However, when I try to install lubridate it fails and I get an extensive error message. The following part caught my attention:

#error This file requires compiler and library support for the ISO C++ 2011 standard. This support is currently experimental, and must be enabled with the -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11 compiler options.

I haven't been able to find how to add these compiler options. Any ideas/support would be appreciated.

Answer 1

The solution was to update the compiler by running sudo apt-get install g++
