Seconded.  These binaries are _seriously_ underappreciated.

It is likely something else. 

I just started with a 'plain' Docker container for Ubuntu 14.04, and ran the
few commands to add CRAN (to get r-base-core and r-base-dev).

I then started R, and asked it to 'install.packages("tibble")'.  Which worked
flawlessly as you would expect.
