All:
I'm hoping this list is the right place to post this question. If not, feel free to direct me elsewhere. I also looked for a search option for this list but couldn't find one. Sorry!
I'm on a new M1 Pro MacBook Pro. (Yay!) I installed the arm64 version of R and the latest version of RStudio. I'm now setting up for package development with RStudio. When checking any of my packages in RStudio (Build|Check Package), I see:
checking data for ASCII and uncompressed saves ... OK
WARNING
‘qpdf’ is needed for checks on size reduction of PDFs
This warning does not appear on my Intel Mac.
I attempted the following to try to eliminate this warning:
* Installed qpdf (from https://mac.r-project.org/libs-arm64/) into /opt/R/arm64/bin.
* As suggested at https://mac.r-project.org/libs-arm64/, I added /opt/R/arm64/bin to PATH such that I see the following in the macOS Terminal app:
mkh2 using Mac91836 ~ % echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/opt/X11/bin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin:/opt/R/arm64/bin
and
mkh2 using Mac91836 ~ % which qpdf
/opt/R/arm64/bin/qpdf
However, the problem persists.
Is there something else I should be doing to eliminate this warning?
Any suggestions will be welcome.
Thanks,
Matt
P.S. Many, many thanks to everyone who keeps R for Mac viable! Your contributions are incredibly valuable.
