You seem to be using a non-standard kernel (5.1) from a third-party repository (elrepo). The official kernel version on CentOS 7 is 3.10. The reason for the compilation failure is very likely the fact that Intel's PCI-E driver is not compatible with the kernel you are using. Probably the highest supported Linux kernel version is 4.15, and that is on Ubuntu 18.04 (and will likely still not work if installed on CentOS 7). You should either downgrade to the official kernel on CentOS, or if you need a newer kernel, you can use Ubuntu 18.04 instead.

Intel's official software requirements for the version of Quartus you are using (18.1) can be found here:
