Martin,

Thanks for responding.

Did this, and ...

there's still an unresolved issue with package 'later':

** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘later’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
  unable to load shared object '/usr/lib/R/library/later/libs/later.so':
   /usr/lib/R/library/later/libs/later.so: undefined symbol: __atomic_fetch_add_8
Error: loading failed
Execution halted
ERROR: loading failed
* removing ‘/usr/lib/R/library/later’
* restoring previous ‘/usr/lib/R/library/later’

I urge everyone with more ideas to share them.

Regards,
