I was trying to install the package igraph in R using the command install.packages("igraph"). After the installation, during testing phase it showed the following error:

testing if installed package can be loaded Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘igraph’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
unable to load shared object '/home/midhun/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.5/igraph/libs/igraph.so': libicui18n.so.58: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: loading failed Execution halted ERROR: loading failed

  • removing ‘/home/midhun/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.5/igraph’

The downloaded source packages are in
‘/tmp/RtmpLVDism/downloaded_packages’ Warning message: In install.packages("igraph") : installation of package ‘igraph’ had non-zero exit status

Why this is happening? What could be a solution?

The library igraph requires library files such as:

libicui18n.so.58, libicuuc.so.58, libgfortran, etc.

These were either not installed in the proper library folder or were existing as previous versions. For example, in my case, libicuuc.so.58 was required to be installed in usr/lib64. Make sure that dependencies are installed correctly to solve such problems.
