[R-SIG-Finance] RQuantLib on OS X Mavericks?

[Keith S Weintraub]

Zach. I hope I am not dragging you down a never ending installation pit. Here are the error messages:

Here are the results from the terminal commands:

========================================================
/Users/kw $ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
It appears Homebrew is already installed. If your intent is to reinstall you
should do the following before running this installer again:
    rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup

/Users/kw $ brew install quantlib                                                                        
Warning: quantlib-1.4 already installed

========================================================


Here are the install.packages results. It looks like it was able to find the C++ compiler but there were other errors.

========================================================
