For anyone following along...since this completely stopped work on my projects, I took the time to upgrade to a newer version of Rstudio which works with R 3.4. A link to the srpm and some basic instructions can be found here: http://security-plus-data-science.blogspot.com/2017/06/updated-rstudio-srpm-available.html -Steve > There just simply needs to be a rule of no update to a major release during > a shipped Fedora OS.
