Segfault on ubuntu 18.04

Hi G?ran,

I do not have a solution for your problem, but I can confirm that R
3.5.1 runs correctly for me from the shell prompt on Ubuntu 18.04.
However, I compiled R 3.5.1 from the source tarball, so the problem
might be with the Ubuntu deb.

Have you tried completely removing R and then re-installing the deb?

Best,
Steve

-----------------------------------------------------------------
devtools is version 1.13.6 in all cases.

However, running the same in RStudio: No problem.

The same setup, but on ubuntu 16.04 (another computer): No problem.

On my Mac: No problem.

Is it ubuntu, devtools, or me? If it is me, what can I do?
