[R-SIG-Finance] RQuantlib on OSX

[Luca Passalacqua]

Hello,

  first of all I am new to this list, so I hope I am posting my request
correctly. If not, plese let me know.

I have a problem trying to install  RQuantlib on OS X, in particular on.a
MacBook running MAC OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan).

I am using brew, following instructions found on web, but I am still
missing something since it failed.

Here is the output of brew info:

$ *brew info quantlib*

Here my call from RStudio:

I am puzzled of the error message (in red) since I have written explicitely
the path to boost directories in the configure
instruction.

Could someone please suggest me what to do ?

Many thanks,

Luca
