I'm having this error when trying to install ggiraph in R (RStudio Server on an linux based AWS instance, new RStudio and R versions).
Can't find any advice anywhere for linux systems (only for OS X).
Did anybody encounter the same problem and how did you solve it?
Thank you!

Error: Failed to install 'ggiraph' from GitHub:
(converted from warning) installation of package ‘/tmp/RtmpU8zekV/file485f57d349a8/ggiraph_0.7.9.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status
In my case for this problem, my solution is update the linux GCC version. Type the script on your terminal to update GCC.
gcc -v ## to check your gcc version(original centos 7 seems 2.5.4)
and refer to this article to update the developer tool 8 https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/devtoolset-8/
On CentOS, install package centos-release-scl available in CentOS repository:
sudo yum install centos-release-scl
On RHEL, enable RHSCL repository for you system:
sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms
Install the collection:
sudo yum install devtoolset-8
Start using software collections:
scl enable devtoolset-8 bash
Check your GCC version is latest:
gcc -v #### Now GCC version should be 8.3.1 20190311
Into the R to install ggiraph on terminal:
sudo R
Install the ggiraph package:
install.packages('ggiraph', repos='http://cran.us.r-project.org')
Quit the terminal R
q() # type "n" to not save workspace image
And switch to rstudio console, library the ggiraph package
library(ggiraph)
All ggiraph function are able to work now! :D
