I have searched this forum, and found some threads (edgeR installation issue, Can't install edgeR because of compilation error: make: *** [R_add_prior_count.o] Error 1 ) on this topic but don't resolved my problem. According to the discussion, this problem is caused by the old version of g++ library. However, in my case, the error remain with g++ version 4.9.2, which is said to support c++11. I am testing g++ version 5.5. 

Thank you!

Update: Now, an alternative solution is to use old version of edgeR (3.16.5) and gcc (4.4.7). I have tested edgeR > 3.16.5 can not be compiled through gcc version 4.9.2.

I believe the problem is -std=g++-0x which tells your new compiler to use an old standard. Likely this was set when your R was installed, maybe with an old gcc.

You need to use a more up-to-date version of gcc. I am using gcc 7.3.0. edgeR compiles fine for me with any gcc 6.3.0 or later.

The current version of edgeR is faster and more memory efficient than older versions. Since edgeR and gcc are both free, why use old software? The latest gcc is 8.2.

Update

After more experimentation, I find that I can compile the latest release version of edgeR even with the oldest gcc I have, which is 4.9.3. Aaron and Martin have instead identified problems with your gcc setup and R compilation.

Actually, edgeR compiles fine for me with gcc 4.8.5:

... so I would say that this is more of an issue with the OP's non-system GCC set-up, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26900783/unable-to-compile-any-c-code for example.

Hi Aaron, I agree with you. I have installed R and all the libraries based on gcc version 4.4.7, if not specifically required higher version of gcc. Now, I will install the latest edgeR using gcc 4.9.2, or 7.3.0 (downloading now). There maybe conflicts between the compiled R and the to be installed edgeR. Maybe the thorough solution is to install all the conflict software based on the latest gcc.

Thank you for the information.
