R devel - Jul 2018 - undefined symbol: cholmod_factorize_p

I am installing R_3.5.1 from source on ubuntu 18.04, and 'config' + 
'make' gives me (at the end)

Loading required package: Matrix
Error: package or namespace load failed for ?Matrix? in dyn.load(file,

What am I missing?

Probably something went wrong earlier in the build when compiling the
Matrix package. However it's much easier to install R form the
binaries:

  sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:marutter/rrutter3.5
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install r-base

If you really want to build from source, have a look at which flags
and dependencies are used in the r-base source package on
Debian/Ubuntu.

Thanks, after a discussion with Dirk on r-sig-debian I did just that.
The reason I compiled R from source was that I had some problems with 
the binary install but without the ppa:marutter. With it everything works.

I certainly will be able to do that (it has "always" worked seamlessly
for me, don't understand what happened this time. Maybe the upgrade to 
18.04), so I will have a look.

Many thanks, G?ran
