[R-SIG-Mac] Compiling packages from source under Mojave (10.14.x)

[BATES Timothy]

Many thanks Roy - it helped me, at least!

Simon: This command ought perhaps to be included on  https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/  as part of the "important note"

It is obscure, with no good duckduckgo or stackoverflow results if the user types in their error message.

Best, tim
