Installation error httpuv dependency

Hi,
When I try to install shiny in R (3..5.2) on Linux (RHEL 6) I get a message that a dependency package "httpuv" is missing. When I try to install "httpuv" (both from within R and outside) I get the following error:

To use the latest libcurl

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/srv/agarw005/installs/curl/libcurl/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

sudo /installs/R/R-3.5.2/bin/R CMD INSTALL /installs/R_Packages_112619/httpuv

I found this same problem with installation of Julia at the following link but it does not work for me because LD_FLAGS is not set

Thanks
