I am using Centos 6.5, has gcc 4.72 as default.
One R package installation need gcc 4.92 compiler, then I yum install devtoolset-3
and scl enable devtoolset-3 bash
to make the installation successfully finished.
As devtoolset-3 is only used for this time R package installation, can I delete it (yum remove devtoolset-3
)after installation?

In most cases, yes. There is a very small chance that your R package needs the compiler to run to do whatever when it has some C interface, but then you will notice it doesn't work and it should be noted in the documentation anyway.
