Found the answer. Most of the credit goes to Andrés Castro Socolich, who provided most of the solution.
This assumes a mostly vanilla Raspberry Pi 4 with Ubuntu 20.10 64-bit installed:
sudo apt update
sudo apt ugrade
sudo apt-get install -y g++ gfortran libreadline6-dev libx11-dev libxt-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libcairo2-dev xvfb libbz2-dev libzstd-dev liblzma-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev texinfo texlive texlive-fonts-extra screen wget libpcre2-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev liblzma-dev libpcre2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev openjdk-11-jdk make
cd /usr/local/src
sudo wget https://cran.rstudio.com/src/base/R-4/R-4.0.3.tar.gz
sudo su
tar zxvf R-4.0.3.tar.gz
cd R-4.0.3
./configure --enable-R-shlib
make
make install
cd ..
rm -rf R-4.0.3*
exit
cd
I had to add
apt-get install g++in order for./configureto succeed and move onto the next stepThank you. I confirmed it is installed. I remotely remember installing it before this for another reason.
It was also missing make. Now both it and g++ are included in the apt-get install command.
