I know that Fedora is not officially supported, but it turns out it just work with the same installer as RHEL/CentOS installer. See here

Now, I want to install one of my favorites package, sf. Unfortunately, I got this error:

And here is how to reproduce it (I have docker image for this):
To replicate, go to the docker container:

# To open new R session
docker run  -it --rm ismailsunni/mro-3.5.3-fedora-geospatial R

or

# Run shell in the docker container
docker run -it --rm ismailsunni/mro-3.5.3-fedora-geospatial /bin/bash
# Open MRO session
R

The second way is probably more useful if you want to investigate the docker container.

Then install sf

install.packages('sf')

And it will give the same error as above

I tried to install GNU R in the same docker container, and it is possible to install sf on GNU R. So, I am thinking that this is not the package-specific.

Any recommendations or pointer on how to fix this issue?

Thanks
