Thank you very much for your post!
I have tried the following to update to the current developmental version:
if (!requireNamespace("remotes")) {
install.packages("remotes")
}
remotes::install_github("paul-buerkner/brms")
Which has worked without issues, so I assume the update to the developmental version worked – the error messages remain the same for all cases.
The problems I had while installing were that it got stuck at pretty much each step along the way and complained about something missing, unfortunately I do not precisely remember what these things were. I do remember that at some point I installed liblapack-dev and libopenblas-dev, which made something along the way work, and I do remember that before the brms installation stopped complaining, I shut down Rstudio and reopened it (I have restarted the machine as well ;).
Something I have found to be slightly weird: When I try to install the package “devtools”, I get the following errors:
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘xml2’

Wondering: Could it be something like the whole combination of R 4.2.2 and Ubuntu 22.04 isn’t working?
Any further tips would be much appreciated!
