[R-pkg-devel] Strange issue checking packages on MacOS

[Alexandre Courtiol]

Hi John,
I cannot replicate the problem on my machine, which version of R and
RStudio are you using?
I don't think I can solve the issue but it could help others to have a
finer idea about your system.
Also I used a terminal running bash outside RStudio, what did you do?

I did your test using RStudio Version 1.1.456 in the following R environment

> sessionInfo()
R version 3.5.1 (2018-07-02)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 (64-bit)
