R-3.6.2 make check fails

You're definitely missing bits of texlive. Lots of "missing file: mf" in
your debug logs.

I think you need to start with installing texlive-metafont.

Alternately, there are pre-built R 3.6.2 packages for EL-7 here:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1421894

I cannot push them as official updates to EPEL because of the catch-22
created by R's dependency on newer C++ support than the EL-7 gcc has. My
packages use the devtoolset compiler to work around this need, but then R
assumes it can build modules from CRAN with those flags (and that level of
C++ support). The only way to ensure that is to have a Requires:
devtoolset-8-toolchain , but that is not permitted in EPEL. Since I am not
interested in the bugs that would be filed by EL-7 users who have confusing
CRAN build failures (which is what I would get if I took out the Requires),
I've opted to simply do the builds in Koji and not push them as updates for
EL-7. EL-8 does not have this issue.

Good luck,
Tom
