Jeff,

How did you install R (RPM or compiled source) and did you re-install after the
F22 upgrade, or just upgrade from F20 to F22 in place?

Since F20 EOL?d this summer, you would likely need to install current R RPMs
built for F22, after the upgrade and/or rebuild R from source post the F22
upgrade.

My guess is a version incompatibility issue, where you are running a version of
R built for F20 on F22.
