[R-SIG-Mac] Rcmdr start-up issue

[Fox, John]

Dear Robert,

As a brief addendum to my previous message, I’ve now installed the newest
version of Xcode, and I still have no trouble using the Rcmdr package.

I did get the following message when I initially loaded the Rcmdr package:
“Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please run
“sudo xcodebuild -license” and then retry this command.” But the Rcmdr
loaded properly both before *and* after I followed the instruction in the
message.

Best,
 John
