So far R does seem to be working and I've tested installing some packages.
Is there any sample R program I can run to test against this error?

/path/to/gcc-11.2/lib is definitely in LD_LIBRARY_PATH when loading the GCC
11.2 module.

If using the /path/to/R-4.2.2/etc/ldpaths where would I put the correct
path? I would've hoped the configure/make process would've found this
automatically.

if test -n "/usr/local/lib64"; then
: ${R_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${R_HOME}/lib:/usr/local/lib64}
else
: ${R_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${R_HOME}/lib}
fi
if test -n "${R_JAVA_LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"; then
  R_LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${R_LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${R_JAVA_LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
fi

if test -z "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"; then
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${R_LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
else
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${R_LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

On RHEL from what I see openjdk-devel provides jni.h.
