[R-SIG-Mac] R 4.1 for my Mac M1 crashing on installing packages

Thu May 20 03:33:12 CEST 2021

Thanks for the logs. Unfortunately, there is no obvious reason for the R crash so I'll need to see if I can replicate it.

As for packages, well, there is if you are really that impatient you can either change the path to the R framework in the package instead of /opt/R or you can install the Fortran compiler from
https://mac.r-project.org/libs-arm64/gfortran-f51f1da0-darwin20.0-arm64.tar.gz
but I don't quite see why you would go into all the trouble just to run the old experimental binaries instead of the release.

Cheers,
Simon
