Many thanks! > This issue caught my interest because I often have to deal with conflicts encountered by people using multiple "big" packages that rely on upstream libraries such as libcurl, gdal, hdfN, netcdf, etc. with R and other "mission critical" apps supplied by ESA and NASA. Ubuntu 18.04 has been problematic, so I tried to reproduce your problem (using the WSL version of Ubuntu 18.04) and failed to see the problem. I installed the R curl package from source using the base packages from: deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/ and didn't get segfaults (eha even installed without issues). Göran -- I'm glad you have been able to get R working, but it could be useful to understand what was broken. The original missing symbol error was for something that should have been defined in the header files from the libcurl dev package. Is there anything non-standard about your libcurl and the associated header files? > [...] > -- George N.
