New versions of Octave (beginning with the soon to be released version 6, cf. http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/80c42f4cca13 ) have replaced the is_empty operation for octave_value types with isempty. The error message from install_github('renozao/RcppOctave') with R 3.6.3 and the current Octave development version installed begins
