title: Unable to load R kernel in Jupyter notebook, Kernel Died
body: <p>unable to load shared object '/opt/conda/lib/R/library/stringi/libs/stringi.so'
  I am trying to install Anaconda with R-kernal on RHEL 7 docker image,  the file is available (not missing) /opt/conda/lib/R/library/stringi/libs/stringi.so. It's working fine with Ubuntu/debian, but not working in RHEL</p>
