Renv compiling RcppEigen crash on Linux

[shun2wang]

While I install cache a project which including RcppEigen on Linux with Renv， it will crash Rstudio on gnome-shell with a out of memory error while compiling it, will auto restart the gnome...That's OK if you just use install.packages without Renv.

it's very wired so I can dont know if I should report here but it's can be reproduce 100% with Renv.I suspect there is a memory leak, but I have no way to get more debugging information.

System info:

• Ubuntu 24.04 Wayland
• RStudio 2024.04.1+748 "Chocolate Cosmos" Release
• 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700H × 20
• 16 Gib RAM + 512 Gib ROM

Thanks for your work!

I'm surprised that this could differ in this scenario, since renv is just invoking R CMD INSTALL directly (ie, it should ultimately be doing the exact same thing). In addition, 16GB RAM should surely be enough (unless stuff is getting built / compiled in parallel?) so I'm a bit flummoxed.
