I suspect the main difficulty the OP is having is building R with shlib
support.
Steve, can you build from source without the --enable-R-shlib flag on
configure?

This is the wrong list, see R-sig-debian. That said,
apt-get update
apt-get build-dep r-base
wget https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-3/R-3.5.0.tar.gz
tar -xvf R-3.5.0.tar.gz
cd R-3.5.0
./configure
make
./bin/R
works for me.
--Ista
My attempts have failed, including:
export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -fPIC"
export CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -fPIC"
export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fPIC"
./configure --enable-R-shlib --prefix=/usr/lib/R/3.5.0
#### Configure completes normally without errors or warnings
make

How does one set the -fPIC flag?
I have never had trouble compiling under Mint, which is based on
Ubuntu.
Thanks!
