[R-sig-hpc] Installing R-3.3 on a HPC cluster

[Ali Siavosh-Haghighi]

I did install zlib as a module and bypassed that error but bzip2-devel-1.0.6 asks for some new version of glibc that is a bit more fundamental. That glibc and that bzip2 It is default for CentOS 7. So I was thinking if there is a way to install bzip2-devel as module as well but could not find the source.
