Rkward 0.8.0 + R 4.5.0: Impossible to start R engine?

[Pierre de Villemereuil]

Hi,

Thanks!

I'm testing with the AppImage, so I can't be really sure, but I'm getting errors using cairo_pdf() with the rkward 0.8.1 RC that I don't get running the same script in R directly :

1: Dans grSoftVersion() :
  impossible de charger l'objet partagé '/usr/lib64/R/modules//R_X11.so' :
  /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_sort_array
2: Dans cairoVersion() :
  impossible de charger l'objet partagé '/usr/lib64/R/library/grDevices/libs//cairo.so' :
  /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_sort_array
3: Dans cairo_pdf(here(...,  :
  failed to load cairo DLL

(Sorry the error messages are in French, but I guess they're intelligible nonetheless)

Other than that, everything seem to work OK.

Cheers,
Pierre
