I first tried with graal version 20.0.0 and got the same error

Can you reproduce with the latest development build?

yes

Hello,

thank you for reporting the issue. This seems to be because FastR does not implement the ASCII serialization format (ID of this format is 1). We do support the default format XDR, other formats (ASCII, ASCII_HEX, BINARY) are not supported at the moment.

For the time being, if you can control the source of the package, you can use the XDR serialization format.
