Hello and apologies if this doesn't belong here.

I'm trying to build a "portable" version of R - "portable" means that it could 
be easily moved to another location or machine simply by copying it. However, I 
encountered a problem when running it elsewhere: it seems that versions of 
dynamic libraries used by R are fixed and set at the build time; when that 
instance of R is run on a system with a different version of certain library 
(e.g. libicuuc.so.52 instead of libicuuc.so.48), it can't find it and quits.

> bin/exec/R: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.48: cannot open 
> shared object file: No such file or directory

Is there a way to overcome this problem? Precompiled versions of R can be 
installed on various system configurations, so I guess that there should be a 
way to compile it in a version-agnostic manner.

Best regards,
Pawel
