Hello @syedburhan.hassan ! That is an interesting issue!! This looks to me like a system dependency issue on your Connect server (sf is well known for having some finicky system dependency needs).

Are you in contact with the administrator who maintains your Connect environment? I think you will be most productive if you reach out to them and share the sf documentation:

There is also some installation guidance provided by Package Manager here:

https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/client/#/repos/1/packages/sf

(scroll down to system dependencies)

I hope that helps!
