[R-SIG-Mac] Some library can't be installed on Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.3

[Josh C. Chien]

Hi R-Mac,
I got trouble about installation of some library which might use C/C++/Fortran code. 
Rmetrics-fPortfolio and RQuantlib are such case.
How to figure out this issue ?
thanks a lot.


below is my error message from RStudio.

> install.packages("fPortfolio")

Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation
  of C/C++/Fortran: ‘Rsymphony’
