compilation error

[Jiayi-Wang-Joey]

Hi Thanks for your great work!

I was trying to install LEMUR on R, however I have encountered this error.

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: library not found for -lgfortran
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [glmGamPoi.so] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘glmGamPoi’
* removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1/Resources/library/glmGamPoi’
Warning: installation of package ‘/var/folders/jp/zptlfyzn5z3dz53d2c0hcft40000gn/T//RtmpDqImAo/file5611ee0480b/glmGamPoi_1.11.8.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

I have tried to re-install the x-code that you mentioned in another same issue. However, I still give this error. I am using MacBook with M1 chip, will this be a problem?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Jiayi

Hi Jiayi,

Thanks for reaching out and sorry about the trouble installing the package.

Have you tried to install gfortran using the instructions from https://mac.r-project.org/tools/ Apple silicon macs?

Best, Constantin

Alternatively, if you feel a bit adventurous, I just saw an announcement on Twitter for a new R package that is trying to resolve these issues by setting up the compilation toolchain for you: https://mac.thecoatlessprofessor.com/macrtools/
