The link below has discussion of gfortran-4.8 for Mavericks-type
installs (scroll down a bit to the middle of the topic):

https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#macOS

If you're on El Capitan or Sierra go here:

https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#El-Capitan-and-Sierra

I think you should probably take the time to install the recommended
gfortran version.  That's what I do. If that's not possible, you can
see here:

https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Customizing-package-compilation

for how to point R to whatever fortran compiler that you want to use.
