Problem compiling the ´gridtext´ package in R

I am trying to install the ´ggtext´ package in R 3.6.0 which has a dependency on another package called ´gridtext´. After running install.packages("ggtext") I get the error:

grid-renderer.h:61:94: error: no matching function for call to ‘Rcpp::Vector<10, Rcpp::PreserveStorage>::Vector(int, bool&, const GraphicsContext&)’

Trying to install from github results in the same problem. I am trying to do this in a server running CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908.

More detailed error message:

EDIT: trying install.packages("gridtext", dep = TRUE) results in the following error:

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cairo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'cairo' found

You g++ version is too low to support c++11, this has been pointed by https://github.com/wilkelab/gridtext/issues/7#issuecomment-646808225.

Use the following command:

sudo yum install centos-release-scl
sudo yum install devtoolset-9
# If you use your non-root account to install packages, 
# remove the sudo and change /root to /home/your_id in the following command
sudo mkdir -p /root/.R
sudo vim /root/.R/Makevars

Add content to the opened file and save it:

CXX11=/opt/rh/devtoolset-9/root/usr/bin/g++ -std=c++11

Reinstall the packages, you will see g++ has been changed to /opt/rh/devtoolset-9/root/usr/bin/g++
