thanks @kevinushey .
I was able to get a little further in the installation process by commenting out devtools, usethis, testthat and lobstr from my .rprofile. That resulted in R telling me that rlang was not found. Basically I am at the same place as this post:
I got it to work by reinstalling R without the i386 files. rlang would install after I installed devtools from github, and I finally got ggplot2 to install from github after removing the i386 architecture, seems there's a build problem with ggplot2 on github right now
and here:
After updating to R3.5.0 and the latest RStudio I'm having a similar issue (can't install github ggplot2 or even github tidyverse). I get the issue:
devtools::install_github('tidyverse/tidyverse')
