title: Jupyter R kernel crashes
body: <p>I have just installed the R essentials from Anaconda (having R already installed on my computer) in order to use R in Jupyter.</p>
  
  <p>Now, when I open a new R notebook in Jupyter, after few seconds (without even typing anything) the kernel crashes and needs to be restarted.</p>
  
  <p>The error I get on the terminal is</p>
  
  <pre><code>[I 12:30:36.297 NotebookApp] Kernel started: dd5dd612-2c8f-4235-9619-1cf5a46b3e89
  </code></pre>

  <p>I guess it might be a problem with shared libraries but I can't figure out how to solve it...</p>
