how to fix

Installing R Core – nothing provides libopenblaso.so.0()(64bit) needed

When trying to install R on RHEL8 from the EPEL repo, I get this error:

R: Error: ‘U’ used without hex digits in character string (~/.Rprofile:4:36)

“Error: ‘U’ used without hex digits in character string (~/.Rprofile:4:36)”
