[R-SIG-Mac] Failed to install R package in Mac

[peter dalgaard]

The warning is harmless. The real issue is that the linker doesn't find the fortran libs:

> ld: warning: directory not found for option
> '-L/usr/local/gfortran/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin18/8.2.0'
> 
> ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/usr/local/gfortran/lib'
> 
> ld: warning: directory not found for option
> '-L/usr/local/gfortran/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin18/8.2.0'
> 
> ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/usr/local/gfortran/lib'
>

This suggests that you have an installation problem with your compiler. 

Compiling source package on Mac can be quite tricky if you want them to work with the CRAN binaries of R, especially if fortran is involved. 

See Simon's documents and downloads at mac.r-project.org. 

However, it is not normally an issue to instal tseries as a binary package:

R version 4.2.1 (2022-06-23) -- "Funny-Looking Kid"

....

> library(tseries)
Error in library(tseries) : there is no package called ‘tseries’
> install.packages("tseries")
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
also installing the dependencies ‘xts’, ‘TTR’, ‘curl’, ‘quadprog’, ‘zoo’, ‘quantmod’

So, there appears to be something special about your setup.
