Thanks Ivan,
The instruction on Posit are almost identical to those in R except they add a
version folder to be able to instyall multiple R's in parallel. I do not
think this is the reason.
I apparently fixed my 4.1.3 issue by adding a symlink R in /usr/lib64/ pointing
to /opt/R/${R_VERSION}/lib64/R folder
This additional symlink is not detailed in the doc(s) and apparently takes care
of re-establishing the link to lib and source files when running R.
I now do not have errors anymore and it even works inside RStudio
Thanks a lot for your help, hoep this can help others with the same issue.

The official installation manual can be found at
<https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html>, not
at
the Posit website.

This should have worked. In fact, I cannot reproduce your problem on my
own: with the same command line, R passes the check and runs both from
the build directory as ./bin/R and (after a `make install`) from the
prefix I specified.

Something about remembering the prefix must have gone horribly wrong,
making your build of R confused enough to go looking for its files in
the wrong directory. Do you have any lingering R-related environment
variables set? Does `env | grep R` show anything useful? Is there
anything useful about the prefix in config.log? Do the generated files
src/scripts/R.fe and bin/R contain the right value of the R_HOME_DIR
variable?
