How fix error of loading libreadline.so.6 after to run R?

I tried to install R using conda as follows: (base) [root@localhost ~]# conda install -c r r After the installation was completed, I tried to run R, and unfortunately, I face following error: $ R /opt/miniconda3/lib/R/bin/exec/R: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It should be mentioned there is libreadline.so.7.0 in the following paths:
    /lib64/libreadline.so.7.0
    /usr/lib64/libreadline.so.7.0

My OS is as below:
    (base) [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/os-release
    NAME="CentOS Linux"
    VERSION="8"
    ID="centos"
    ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"
    VERSION_ID="8"
    PLATFORM_ID="platform:el8"
    PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Linux 8"
    ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
    CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:centos:centos:8"
    HOME_URL="https://centos.org/"
    BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.centos.org/"
    CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT="CentOS-8"
    CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT_VERSION="8"

Also, output of ($conda list) related to r is as below:
    r                         3.2.2                         0

    readline                  8.1                  h27cfd23_0

Any help will be appreciated.

I saw the following link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1168787/libreadline-so-6-issue-in-ubuntu-18-04 and based on one of the answers in this link I tried the following commands:

# cd /usr/lib64
# ln -s libreadline.so.7 libreadline.so.6

Although it fixed my problem, I want to know if there is any better solution? It surprised me why conda didn't installed libreadline.so.6?
