[R-SIG-Mac] Installing R on 10.14 (Mojave)

[Marc Schwartz]

Hi Tim,

Be sure that you are running the latest version of Xcode:

  https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12

and that you also install/re-install the command line tools afterwards:

  xcode-select --install

With a major macOS version upgrade like this, you should do a fully clean install of R and afterwards, of XQuartz:

  https://www.xquartz.org

Regards,

Marc
