for install this need to upgrade our g++ compiler to version 4.8.x above.

how do "upgrade our g++ compiler to version 4.8.x above" in centos system ?

Answer 1

I've had this problem as well. As far as I know, there are two options:

1. Upgrade to CentOS 7 - it has g++ 4.8.5

2. On CentOS 6.7, install devtoolset-2, which includes g++ 4.8.2

I don't know precisely where to get devtoolset-2 (my system administrator installed it for me), but I am sure you can find that online. Note that you will need to do something like export CXX='/opt/rh/devtoolset-2/root/usr/bin/g++' to make sure you are using the newer compiler.

Perhaps the answers to this SO question might help with option 2.
