[R-SIG-Mac] Issue installing units package after updating R to 4.4

Tue Jul 9 19:12:54 CEST 2024

How did you install R?  You have a lot of homebrew references in the log 
below.

It appears you installed R from homebrew, so you probably need to 
install all packages from homebrew (or from source, using homebrew 
tools).  Note that CRAN doesn't support homebrew installs.

I'd recommend that you install R from CRAN instead, and if necessary 
follow the instructions on https://mac.r-project.org/bin/ to get extra 
libs like udunits.
