[R-SIG-Mac] Installing from source on OSX 10.10.1 and R 3.2 (devel version)

[Bryan Hanson]

I’m trying to get R 3.2 working fully so I can test my packages before sending to CRAN.  R 3.2 appears to work OK in general terms.  However, when I try to install some packages I need, I run into errors with the libraries that the install process desires.  I get the same or very similar messages from several packages.  Let’s use amap as an example:

install.packages("amap", type = "source")
[…]
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/usr/local/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0/4.8.2'
ld: library not found for -lgfortran
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [amap.so] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘amap’
* removing ‘/Users/bryanhanson/Library/R/3.2/library/amap’
* restoring previous ‘/Users/bryanhanson/Library/R/3.2/library/amap’

The full output is appended after this message.  The problem here is clear in one sense: there no directory on my machine by that name, since on Yosemite it is darwin13.4.0 and gcc is at 4.9.2.  xcode and xquartz have been updated.  I don’t know if this is a problem with a symlink on my system or an issue with the amap package  not yet being fully updated for R 3.2 or a problem with R 3.2 or a mangled gcc install.  All suggestions welcome, there’s a good chance I’m being simple-minded here.

Thank you.  Bryan
