Rmpfr will not install

RHEL 6.6
I installed mpfr 3.16 and updated ld.conf but I still can't get R to install the package even if I explicitly set the library and include.

install.packages('Rmpfr', type = "source", configure.args=c('--with-mpfr-include=/usr/local/include','--with-mpfr-lib=/usr/local/lib'))

It seems to compile but cannot load the library

Error: package or namespace load failed for 'Rmpfr' in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...): unable to load shared object '/opt/shiny-server/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.4/Rmpfr/libs/Rmpfr.so': /opt/shiny-server/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.4/Rmpfr/libs/Rmpfr.so: undefined symbol: mpfr_digamma Error: loading failed

Any suggestion on what to try next?

In centos6.9, I install mpfr4.0.1 in /usr/local/lib.

The system mpfr is in /usr/lib64.

If I rename /usr/lib64/libmpfr.so to /usr/lib64/libmpfr.so.bk, I am able to install the Rmpfr:

R CMD INSTALL Rmpfr.tar.gz

then you can rename /usr/lib64/libmpfr.so.bk back to /usr/lib64/libmpfr.so.
