igraph installation error

[BenxiaHu]

Hi,
I try to install igraph using install.packages("igraph") and remotes::install_github("igraph/rigraph@master"). However, these 2 ways do not work. Here is the error I got:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘igraph’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/nas/longleaf/home/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/00LOCK-igraph/00new/igraph/libs/igraph.so':

Error: loading failed

Do you have any suggestions for this issue?
Best,

This looks like error that you get when you try library(igraph). Do you also get any error during compilation? Presumably you are missing the libicu-dev package? igraph does not have this dependency immediately, but libxml2 does have this dependency (on which igraph does depend). Perhaps you have two versions of libxml2 installed somehow, with conflicting libicu versions?

The version on the master branch was just updated, so you can also retry with remotes::install_github("igraph/rigraph@master").

Note that this looks like a duplicate of issue #274.

Duplicate of #274; also it seems to be an undesired interplay with an Anaconda environment.
