CentOS 6.9 work around

yum install devtoolset-7
source scl_source enable devtoolset-7

Hello, it looks like Node 10 requires gcc 4.9+ for C++14 support - see https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/16501 and https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/1420

This pretty much rules out using native modules with Node 10 on a stock Centos 6 machine.

Given Centos 6 has been in maintenance-only for over a year I’d recommend upgrading the OS if the use of Node 10 is required.
