Sorry, then it has been my mistake to blame RStudio for this.

We can try debugging this. If you start a fresh R process and run
tools:::.install_packages(path_to_tarball), the installation will (try
to) proceed in the current process instead of a child process. Once it
fails, traceback() will be available to show you where the error
condition has been raised. What does it say?

Alternatively,

1. Check the package R files for stray library() calls. Generally,
packages should not be calling library().

2. Try a "binary search" approach. Make a copy of your package code but
remove half of the files (or half of the functions if they live in a
single file). Keep removing a half (or go to the other half) depending
on whether the same error keeps happening.

Good luck!
