I cannot install the latest version of Rstan using R4.0.1 on CentOS 7 machine. I followed the instructions found here: https://github.com/stan-dev/rstan/wiki/Installing-RStan-on-Linux
I do not have admin rights to the linux server, so I am wondering if this means I need to ask admin to install V8? If so, which version - the brew version? (Im not very linux literate).
Any help very much appreciated.
Here is the error:
-----------------------------[ ANTICONF ]-------------------------------
Configuration failed to find the libv8 engine library. Try installing:
deb: libv8-dev or libnode-dev (Debian / Ubuntu)
rpm: v8-devel (Fedora, EPEL)
brew: v8 (OSX)
csw: libv8_dev (Solaris)
To use a custom libv8, set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars=‘INCLUDE_DIR=… LIB_DIR=…’
---------------------------[ ERROR MESSAGE ]----------------------------

Here is the complete solution in case it can help someone else.
On CentOS 7:
installed V8 headers and shared library from here: https://pkgs.org/download/v8-devel (EPEL_x86_64)
bumped gcc (g++) from version 4 to 9.3.1
In R:
removed rstan and StanHeaders
installed in a fresh R session
