Hi Bert, thank you for your email. yes, of course, i did the google searches before posting, although the results did not help too much. At the end, I've copied the R executable from the installation folder to /usr/local/lib/R/lib, and apparently it worked ...

You need to search a bit harder. At least give 60 minutes yourself. Check date of resultant pages hence be sure that you don?t follow an outdated instruction. Hence, you can learn how to search in time. Please, read; https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200486138-Using-Different-Versions-of-R I strictly suggest you install R from Ubuntu repo. Do not try to compile/install to another custom location unless if you have very good reason. Try to follow generic installation steps at first.> On 30 May 2017, at 00:07, Bogdan Tanasa <tanasa at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Bert, thank you for your email. yes, of course, i did the google > searches before posting, although the results did not help too much.

thank you Jeff. I shall re-install R using the recommendations from the page you've sent. initially, I wanted to set up the ./configure manually, in the following way : ./configure --enable-R-shlib --prefix=/home/bogdan/R On Mon, May 29, 2017 at 6:04 PM, Jeff Newmiller <jdnewmil at dcn.davis.ca.us> wrote:> Did you follow the instructions at https://cran.r-project.org/ > bin/linux/ubuntu/README.html? > -- > Sent from my phone.
