Hi, I am trying to build a more recent version (3.6.1 or 3.5.3) of R on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I have installed build-deps with: sudo apt-get build-dep r-base and I ran ./configure During "make", I get the following error: platform.o: In function `do_eSoftVersion': /home/user/Desktop/R-3.6.1/src/main/platform.c:3129: undefined reference to `u_getVersion_58'

...ou are not linking against the correct library that you compiled against. In this case, there seems to be a version conflict because you compiled against version 58 of ICU, but Ubuntu Bionic actually has ICU60: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libicu-dev So the question is how do you end up with ICU58 headers? I am guessing your either installed a custom libicu in /usr/local/, or you upgraded from an older version of ubuntu but haven't upgraded libicu-dev. Either way the solution is to clean up your system and make sure there is only one version of libicu.
