Hello.
Got same issue on AWS AMI image

$ cat /proc/version 
Linux version 4.14.256-197.484.amzn2.x86_64 (mockbuild@ip-10-0-37-156) (gcc version 7.3.1 20180712 (Red Hat 7.3.1-13) (GCC)) #1 SMP Tue Nov 30 00:17:50 UTC 2021

$ sudo yum install -y R-3.6.3-1-1.x86_64.rpm

$ opt/R/3.6.3/bin/Rscript --version
R scripting front-end version 3.6.3 (2020-02-29)

/opt/R/3.6.3/lib/R/bin/exec/R: error while loading shared libraries: libgfortran.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Could you please advice anything to solve issue?

Needs installing
sudo yum install -y compat-gcc-48-libgfortran.
Issue resolved.

I have this same issue running on public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.11 image but sudo yum install -y compat-gcc-48-libgfortran is not working

compat-gcc-48-libgfortran doesn't seem to be available in Amazon Linux 2023. Maybe in some external repo?

I did manage to run R --version by doing the following:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libgfortran.so.5 /usr/lib64/libgfortran.so.3
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libreadline.so.8 /usr/lib64/libreadline.so.6
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libicuuc.so.67 /usr/lib64/libicuuc.so.50
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libicui18n.so.67 /usr/lib64/libicui18n.so.50

but, I haven't validated if that works beyond that.
