How to solve "ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘later’" when installing shiny

I'm installing Shiny Server for R Language in CentOS 6.5 using:

install.packages('shiny', repos='https://cran.rstudio.com/')

And get:

ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘later’
* removing ‘/usr/lib64/R/library/later’
ERROR: dependency ‘later’ is not available for package ‘promises’
* removing ‘/usr/lib64/R/library/promises’

Looking in the Internet I found that I need devtools to install it from git hub:

https://github.com/r-lib/later/issues/78

Using:

install.packages('devtools', repos='https://cran.rstudio.com/')

But get the same error:

ERROR: dependency ‘later’ is not available for package ‘promises’

How to solve this in order to install shiny?

The problem was solved upgrading the C++ compiler in CentOS.

This guide was useful for the process:
