I have installed R 3.3.0 on a centos 5.2 server, and am trying to install the packages I need to run a shiny app; one of the packages is Hmisc and causing an error.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to proceed. Could someone advise please? Do I need to add additional libraries via yum install?

Many thanks

This worked for me with the same issue, it's a hack but still worked.

wget http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz
./configure ; make ; make install
mkdir -p /builddir/build/BUILD/R-3.3.0/zlib-1.2.8/target/usr/lib64/
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libz.a /builddir/build/BUILD/R-3.3.0/zlib-1.2.8/target/usr/lib64/libz.a

wget http://www.bzip.org/1.0.6/bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz
