Trouble installing an R package from GitHub


I am attempting to install an R package from https://github.com/siqixu/DaubechiesSim, but I run into some errors (see below). I am running R version 4.3.2 on macOS Monterey version 12.6.5 in Rstudio version 2023.12.1+402.

I've tried following the instructions here: clang-7: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 for macOS Big Sur, but to no avail.

Thank you!

Solution

  • Finally got it to work by following the recommendations of Justin Savoie here https://discourse.mc-stan.org/t/compile-issue-with-rstan-on-macbook-pro-m1/33195/15. My MacOS was already updated, so I removed Xcode and Command Line Tools, deleted Homebrew, and re-installed Xcode.

    What I did:I removed Command Line Tools. I updated Sonoma to 14.1.1. I deleted completely Homebrew (this was radical and I’m not sure it was needed, but I didn’t really need Homebrew). I installed the latest regular (non-beta) Xcode. I had tried before with CLT only; that didn’t work. CLT 15.1 beta didn’t work for me. Actually all CLT didn’t work for me.
