I am currently working on a project where I am attempting to run my R script remotely on a campus computer cluster. As such, I don't have sudo privileges and cannot change the R configuration file. I need to use reticulate, however, when I attempt to install reticulate, I receive the error Error: C++17 standard requested but CXX17 is not defined. This error occurs when R is attempting to install the RcppTOML packages (a reticulate dependency). When I open the configuration file, I see that C++14 is defined, but the C++17 line is just
C++17 =
I have tried to edit the config file, but do not have permissions. I can try to reach out to the server administrators, but it will likely take several days to hear back from them, and maybe longer for them to fix this problem.
Is there a way I can use reticulate with C++14 or is there a different way to fix this other than editing the config file?
I can use anaconda, so is there a way I can fix this by installing a new install of R with condo?
Thanks for any help!
