I'm trying to run R on a local linux server. R version 4.0.4 was installed using conda. I can see the package (or that something called R is in the correct location). However, I receive the following error when trying to run R:

error while loading shared libraries:
libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

r linux

Before I try and answer what's the result of uname -a?

It seems like you might not have libreadline-dev installed

Should be fixed with simple (assuming you are on a debian based distro)

sudo apt install  libreadline-dev
