Dear all,

when I try to install R the following error occurs:

In[1]:= Needs["RLink`"]

In[2]:= InstallR[]

During evaluation of In[2]:= InstallR::fail: Failed to install R. The following error was encountered: Unable to load dynamic libraries

Out[2]= $Failed

In[3]:= $Version

Out[3]= "11.2.0 for Linux x86 (64-bit) (September 11, 2017)"
