R is not being able to find the compiler, if you don't need the latest version you could answer "no" and get the binary version which doesn't need compilation, if you still want the source version, the first thing to try is installing/updating Xcode in your system, you need it for compiling packages on macOS

xcode-select --install

Here are some installation instructions

That worked (i.e. answering no). 'sm' is now installed. Thank you very much!
