... > > curl: /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4: no version information available so here we have evidence that indeed you have a locally compiled curl version on your system in addition to the Ubuntu one (which would not put anything into /usr/local/lib). So it seems that at some point you have dow

Dear Rolf, Sorry you're still having problems with this. If you still would like to build R-4.1.0 from source (instead of using a Docker image or some binary package), could you share your config.log using a service like https://paste.debian.net/ ? It's also... interesting that you got a "permiss

Forgive me if I'm missing something here, but do you need to install from source or do you just need R 4.1.0? If the latter, my understanding is that you should be able to get R version 4.1.0 on Ubuntu distributions via: sudo apt install r-base=4.1.0-1.2004.0 r-recommended=4.1.0-1.2004.0 r-base-h
