Docker's extremely useful for some things, but also overkill here. It sounds like Yudong (hi BTW, didn't know you used R at all) found a perfectly good solution to the problem in the duplicated thread (probably wasn't showing up immediately if the thread needed moderator approval) at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/julia-users/rK6gSIM822w - upgrade R to a version that is compatible with the same pcre version as Julia. Wasn't really a problem with Julia so much as a problem with R not having upper-bound constraints on its pcre version requirement.
