Hi everyone!
I'm trying to install the package, rugarch, for a class. I am using MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G3020).
I am using RStudio:
R version 3.5.1 (2018-07-02) -- "Feather Spray"
Copyright (C) 2018 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 (64-bit)
I'm trying to figure out why it's not installing.
Most of the forums I searched on report the need for Xquartz, but I already have installed it.
Wondering what to try next...... Thanks for your help!

It's installed. Based on calling the gcc version in terminal:
gcc -v
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 10.0.1 (clang-1001.0.46.4)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin18.7.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin
I'm considering this problem has to do with which clang I'm using and how it's setup???
I initially installed clang6. Couldn't install rugarch. So then I went through the posts I pasted previously, which recommended trying clang 4, so I also installed that.
The error indicates the output directory can't be found:
/usr/local/clang4/bin/clang++
I went and checked in Finder, and indeed there is no 'bin' folder in /usr/local/clang4
However, I did find it in /user/local/clang6. Full path to /bin/clang++.
I also just tried downloading the binary version and not the source, but got the following error...:
install.packages("RcppArmadillo", type="binary)
Error in install.packages : type 'binary' is not supported on this platform
I guess I can try upgrading to Rv3.6.3???? I'm using 3.5.1 because of my class though and the professor said version newer than 3.5.1 require extra add-ons so I'm hesitant to change versions on my Mac[quote="hohaddict, post:6, topic:67892, full:true"]
Hey Davo!
Just seeing if you had any tips on my followup
thanks!

Have you tried updating R?
Apparently the latest version doesn't require a custom compiler, so it should be simpler.
CRAN R 4.0.0 builds and higher no longer use any custom compilers and thus this directory is no longer relevant. We now use Apple Xcode 10.1 and GNU Fortran 8.2 from Releases · fxcoudert/gfortran-for-macOS · GitHub.
One clarification:
As I followed the links from the R-4.0.1.pkg, I was directed to download clang8
But the description of R-4.0.1.pkg states:
"this release uses Xcode 10.1 and GNU Fortran 8.2. If you wish to compile R packages from sources, you will need to download and GNU Fortran 8.2"
@andresrcs
The upgrade to the most recent version of R worked! Thanks for that suggestion.
I ended up downloading clang8, per the directions in the link.
The remaining question is still: Should I care about downloading GNU Fortran 8.2 in the future or does clang8 do the same thing?
