Hi Dirk, Many thanks for your reply and comments.
I have downloaded sprng2.0 from the link you mentioned and am editing the make.CHOICES file. For LIB_REL_DIR directive, should I change this to (something like) /usr/local/lib64 for R to know its existence? Or should I leave it alone to default (which would be sprng/lib)? Thank you in advance.
