[Bioc-devel] Question reg devtools in MacOS High Sierra

[Krithika Bhuvaneshwar]

Hello,

We are the package maintainers of the CINdex package. Our package is giving
build errors and we are investigating why. I'm currently working on setting
up the environment so I can replicate the error.

I have a MacOS High Sierra. Here is what I did:
* downloaded R 4.1 from  https://mac.r-project.org/ and
* Got the latest  BioC 3.13 using BiocManager::install(version = "devel")

* When I tried *install.packages("devtools")*, it said
*"Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation
of **C/C++/Fortran: ‘gert’*

So Then I did *install.packages("devtools")*

It gave me an error saying
*"Configuration failed to find libgit2 library." Try installing: brew:
libgit2 (MacOS)*
I have tried installing libgit2 using both brew and within R. Neither
worked. So at this point, I'm unable to install devtools . And without
devtools, Check And Build are not working

Has anyone else encountered this issue, please advise on how to fix this.

Thanks,
Krithika
