Rstudio Installation failing on Rocky Linux

[JimHugh]

I'm trying to get Rstudio running on Rocky Linux 9, having installed R without a problem.

I'm getting the following error report

R Session Startup Failure Report

RStudio Version

RStudio 2022.07.2+576, "Spotted Wakerobin" (e7373ef8, 2022-09-06) for RHEL 8

Logs

Log File

[No logs available]

From the terminal where I tried to run it, I got the following:
TTY detected. Printing informational message about logging configuration. Logging configuration loaded from '/etc/rstudio/logging.conf'. Logging to '/home/jim/.local/share/rstudio/log/rdesktop.log'.
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'notifyRCrashed' of undefined"

Any ideas?

you need openssl. install it from a terminal and then verify you have the crypto lib by
find /usr -name libcrypto.so.1.1
that is your problem based on the error.

We don't have official Rocky Linux 9 binaries, but we are about to release a version that has Rocky Linux 9 support as a preview. Give it a spin and let us know if it works for you!
