Dear all, I seem to be having an impossible time install R on my centos 8 virtual machine (I know centos 8 is no longer maintained, but it is a work server so I have no choice in the matter.). I installed EPEL and enabled PowerTools, but I cannot install R due to conflicts in the requirements for openblas-devel. Could some help me get past this issue? Thanks in advance, Roger
