Error compiling packages (Mac OSX)

Hello,

I am getting this message, after being asked to install rlang. I am using OSX Mojave, and R 3.6.

> install.packages("rlang")
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---

  There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
      binary source needs_compilation
rlang  0.3.4  0.4.0              TRUE

Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation? (Yes/no/cancel) y
installing the source package ‘rlang’

I have come across this error in previous versions of R and was never able to figure out what the issue was. Any help would be appreciated.

You are not showing any error message, that is telling you that you have successfully installed rlang

Ah, I was under the impression the weird path names under libs meant there was an issue. But I was wrong. Thank you!
