I tried to install R-3.5.0 from source on my Ubuntu 18.04, and met this
problem:
../../lib/libR.so: undefined reference to 'ucol_strcollIter_58'
../../lib/libR.so: undefined reference to 'u_getVersion_58'
../../lib/libR.so: undefined reference to 'uloc_setDefault_58'
../../lib/libR.so: undefined reference to 'ucol_close_58'
../../lib/libR.so: undefined reference to 'ucol_getLocaleByType_58'
../../lib/libR.so: undefined reference to 'ucol_setAttribute_58'
../../lib/libR.so: undefined reference to 'u_versionToString_58'
../../lib/libR.so: undefined reference to 'ucol_open_58'
../../lib/libR.so: undefined reference to 'uiter_setUTF8_58'
../../lib/libR.so: undefined reference to 'ucol_setStrength_58'
# collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
# Makefile:145: recipe for target 'R.bin' failed
What I did to configure is according to the INSTALL instruction with the
source code except --with-cairo (which seems un-necessary):
./configure --prefix=/opt/R/3.5.0 --enable-R-shlib --with-blas
--with-lapack --with-cairo

The above error came from make by sudo make.
There are some threads about the options --enable-R-shlib, but the problem
stayed with the option turned off. Without --with-cairo option could not
resolve the problem either.
After several hours of search, it seems to me it is related to the
compiling process, but I'm not sure which library is missing, or which
options should be used to compile/link in my Ubuntu 18.04.
Thanks a lot!
