During the (unsuccessful) installation from source, I get the error (not
entirely unexpected):
checking for mkoctfile... no
configure: error: mkoctfile not found, is Octave installed?
(I am not surprised because I don’t have Octave installed.)
There are further comments and instructions about installing octave. The
instructions to install octave may alter the locations or symlinks for gfortran
which might create problems for installing R packages from source, since the
directory locations for brew installs are different than those that R expects.
You might want to post the question on R-SIG-Mac.
