Problem installing tensorflow-probability -- "no such option: --no-user"

[pvo93]

I'm trying to install cellassign for a researcher I support at the Mayo Clinic. When I try to install tensorflow-probability, I get the error message that "--no-user" is not a valid option. This is R 4.2.2 on RHEL8 Linux. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
