Thanks Dirk! I wrongly thought the R-3.5.0 Binary was NOT default R for Ubuntu 18.04 as some of my R packages requires updated R version. Anyway, with your suggestion all went well like charm. Thank you very much!
Back to the problem, actually I saw different versions of libicu* such as: /home/yifang/anaconda3/lib/libicudata.so.58 /home/yifang/anaconda3/pkgs/icu-58.2-h9c2bf20_1/lib/libicuio.so.58 /opt/anaconda3/lib/libicuio.so.58 /opt/anaconda3/pkgs/icu-58.2-h9c2bf20_1/lib/libicudata.so.58 /usr/lib/rstudio/bin/libicudata.so.55 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicudata.so.60 /usr/share/doc/libiculx60 /var/lib/dpkg/info/libicu60:amd64.shlibs I had thought the anaconda3 library (version 58) and rstudio (using version 55) conflict with shared libicu* version 60, exactly as you pointed out. How to resolve my problem for educational purpose? Appreciate your insights.
