I never saw this 'non-zero exit status' in Rgui.exe or R.exe

With the 'same' you mean the same error messages or were you able to install
the Catboost package successfully?

This is the screen output from R

I don't need it, but that's the screen output I got from R. In an attempt to
fix this issue I installed Cygwin.

Yes, exactly the same. Make sure you use the 64-bit version in the
.wine/drive_c/Program Files/R/R-4.0.5/bin/x64/ directory, since Catboost
requires 64-bit
