Upstream and FreeBSD had discussion on this in 2016. Where the end result was that upstream didn't see the necessity for this. https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2016-November/073397.html So in light of that this appears to a possible bug in that libRmath.so is installed outside /usr/lib64/R/lib/? (Which might be a difference in behaviour with 4.4.2).
So other distributions, namely Debian and Fedora both split libRmath from the base R package. In regard to the soname its either a downstream made up one like with Debian or none at all like with Fedora. https://salsa.debian.org/edd/r-base/-/blob/ab40d22a48fa679e2bfc1fc7f98de287a4aa19e5/debian/rules#L18 (In reply to Alfred Wingate from comment #2) > So in light of that this appears to a possible bug in that libRmath.so is > installed outside /usr/lib64/R/lib/?
