It looks like your compiler is being inferred as gcc:

make[1]: Entering directory '/scratch/vt74/ds6924/tmp/RtmptFuxZJ/R.INSTALL3ff42d3f5e9272/RcppParallel/src/tbb/src'
OS: linux
arch=intel64
compiler=gcc
runtime=cc8.5.0_libc2.28_kernel4.18.0
tbb_build_prefix=linux_intel64_gcc_cc8.5.0_libc2.28_kernel4.18.0

but the actual compiler here is icpc (Intel's compiler?)

Is there some simple way for me to stand up an environment using icpc to test?

[kevinushey]

The output of R CMD config --all would probably also be helpful.

[DarioS]

No, registration to the H.P.C. needs an Australian university e-mail account. I attach the config report which will hopefully help.

I pushed a change in 229c08b; can you let me know if that helps you get further? Install it with e.g.

remotes::install_github("RcppCore/RcppParallel")

[DarioS]

Same error on Rocky Linux H.P.C. Connecting to a small in-house server which is Debian 11, installation works the first time.

[kevinushey]

Sorry to hear it. Unfortunately, without access to an environment using the Intel icc / icpc compilers there's not much I can do to help. Pull requests are welcome.

The system administrator explains that it is a known issue of RcppParallel depending on outdated TBB and solution is:

module load R/4.2.1
module load intel-compiler/2020.3.304
module load intel-tbb/2020.3.304

export TBB_VERSION=$INTEL_TBB_VERSION
export TBB=$INTEL_TBB_BASE
export TBB_INC=$TBB/include
export TBB_LIB=$TBB/lib
export TBB_USE_SYMLINKS=FALSE

R
> install.packages("RcppParallel") # success

As you can see, you need to downgrade intel-tbb version to 2020.3.304. If you already installed some R packages using intel-compiler/2021.6.0 you may need to reinstall them with the intel-compiler/2020.3.304

Glad you got it working. Yes, the instructions for building RcppParallel with a separate TBB installation are documented in the README.
