Answer 1

based on https://github.com/RcppCore/RcppArmadillo/issues/200, I think this issue is due to a g++ compatability issue. It might also explain why when I installed devtools it kept giving me [-Wdeprecated-declarations] so run: sudo yum remove gcc72-c++.x86_64 libgcc72.x86_64

Answer 2

yum install R-devel

Then you should be able to run the installation command.

Answer 3

You need to install dmlc-core.

Answer 4

I had the same issue on AWS and already fixed. You need first install gcc64 and openmp shared support library.

sudo yum install gcc64
sudo yum install libgomp

Then under your user home create an .R folder with a Makevars file in it, with the following content (it will tell to R which compiler to use):

CC = /usr/bin/gcc64
CXX = /usr/bin/g++
SHLIB_OPENMP_CFLAGS = -fopenmp

I hope it's working for you as well ...
