Microsoft R v3.4.0 - Segfault on Debian 9 'memory not mapped' about microsoft-r-open

[cauldnz]

I had this issue on Ubuntu 17.10 with MRO 3.4.3. Obviusly looking to link an older version of libpng

The below worked for me.

wget -q -O /tmp/libpng12.deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb \
  && dpkg -i /tmp/libpng12.deb \
  && rm /tmp/libpng12.deb

I get the same error in Pop!_os, but the proposed fix does not work.

Had the same issue on Pop!_os
The fix worked for me too.

Just out of curiosity, @tc-mustang, is this still a problem on MS R 3.4.3 ? or were you using 3.4.0 ?
thanks,
Matt

[tc-mustang]

I was using 3.4.3

I had the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04 with MRO 3.5.0. MattWeatherford's fix worked great with libpng16.so.16.34.0

The problem appears to persist in MRO 3.5.1 on Ubuntu 18.04.

Yes, happens with me too.

the (install page)]https://mran.microsoft.com/documents/rro/installation] actually mentions the requirement to install the libpng package separately:

On Ubuntu 18.04, you must also install libpng12 from the Linux Kernel archives, as it is no longer part of the Ubuntu distribution, as follows:

wget https://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libpng12-01_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
