I’ve installed R 3.7.0 on a new laptop running macos 10.14.5 and have managed to get most of my usual packages to compile from source with a ~/.R/Makevars file that looks like this:
CC=/usr/local/clang8/bin/clang CXX=/usr/local/clang8/bin/clang++ LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/clang8/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/clang8/include -I/opt/X11/include/freetype2 FC=/usr/local/gfortran/bin/gfortran FLIBS=-L/usr/local/gfortran/lib -lgfortran As usual, the last challenge seems to be to get rgl installed. Compilation _seems_ to go smoothly, but I now see: Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.7/Resources/library/00LOCK-rgl/00new/rgl/libs/rgl.so': dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.7/Resources/library/00LOCK-rgl/00new/rgl/libs/rgl.so, 6): Symbol not found: _FT_Attach_File Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.7/Resources/library/00LOCK-rgl/00new/rgl/libs/rgl.so There is a comment somewhat after this about rgl requiring XQuartz, but I have XQuartz 2.7.11 so I don’t think that this is the problem. Apparently, there is still a freetype problem, however I’m out of my depth at this point. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
