vTable, kableExtra installation issue on Fedora 39

General
1

I am attempting to install the package vtable on Fedora 39 using both RStudio IDE and the Terminal using R. Both ways, the package dependency fails when attempting to install kableExtra. It does all the stuff it should, THEN says : Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
unable to load shared object '/home/my_name/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/4.3/stringi/libs/stringi.so':
libicui18n.so.72: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Calls: ... namespaceImport -> loadNamespace -> library.dynam -> dyn.load
Execution halted

How do I fix this? Thanks!

I solved this issue on my own! Seems to be some sort of issue in recognizing that the 'stringi' package as a dependency for kableExtra.
