I would not trust that. Go to the authorised source after downloading the 
source package tarball, do not use a GUI or RStudio if compiled code is 
involved, as it is here (see 
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Installing-packages).

From the command line, try R CMD INSTALL geoRglm_0.9-16.tar.gz. If on 
Windows with RTools installed, this will work 
(https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/). If on MacOS, work out 
from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools what you need to install 
of compilers, etc., if not already installed.

Running R CMD INSTALL geoRglm_0.9-16.tar.gz will show what is missing. 
Since you used a web search and reached an unhelpful page, maybe review 
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#How-to-install-packages
and 
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#Installation-of-source-packages 
first.
