Hi, everyone, below are the scripts that describe the problem i am facing right now. i had downloaded the lastest version of R and restarted my computer, but it is still not working. Thank you

install.packages("gifski")

There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
binary source needs_compilation
gifski 0.8.6 0.8.7 TRUE

Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation? (Yes/no/cancel) Yes

Yes sometimes works. If it doesn't work on the first attempt, give up and choose No. This is a macOS compiler toolchain problem that is only going to get worse with Big Sur's successors and is already a huge problem on the M1 processor. It's what finally caused me to set aside macOS for Ubuntu.
