stringi package won't install in CentOS

I am trying to install stringi package in R, but the installation never finishes. After the download and some compilation, I get the following message:

Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
  unable to load shared object '/home/marcus/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.3/stringi/libs/stringi.so':
  /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by /home/marcus/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.3/stringi/libs/stringi.so)
Error: loading failed
Execution halted
ERROR: loading failed
* removing ‘/home/marcus/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.3/stringi’

The downloaded source packages are in
    ‘/tmp/RtmpT5KQVP/downloaded_packages’
Warning message:
In install.packages("stringi") :
  installation of package ‘stringi’ had non-zero exit status

I searched the internet and I couldn't understand what this error message means. If it helps, this is my sessionInfo():

I solved my problem installing gcc 4.9.2. To do so, I ran

$ sudo yum install devtoolset-3-gcc-c++
$ sudo yum install devtoolset-3-gcc-gfortran
$ scl enable devtoolset-3 bash

in the shell. The first two commands install gcc and gfortran. The last one makes gcc 4.9.2 the standard compiler in the system. After that, I opened R and ran install.packages("stringi") to have my problem solved.
