Dear R package developers,
Since the upgrade from R 3.2.x to 3.3.0 I was confronted with several problems updating/installing some R packages.
Here for instance:
# R
R version 3.3.0 (2016-05-03) -- "Supposedly Educational"

The same errors occur if I try to install other packages. It seems as newer libraries are needed as CentOS 6 can provide. My kernel version is 2.6.32-642.1.1.el6.x86_64. My R-core version is 3.3.0-5.el6.
Could somebody give me a hint how to solve this issue?
Thx, Martin
