[R-SIG-Mac] Problems in install some packages in R 4.2

[peter dalgaard]

Marginally related:

The "binary" bit trips up my students from time to time (with tseries recently). 

They get the option to install from source because it's marginally newer, answer "yes" because that'w what they always do, and then installation bombs because they don't have the compilers.  

Yes, they should know better, but no... 

We might want to consider implementing something like capabilities("compilers") so that we can condition the source installs more carefully.
