Probably the definitive answer will be the R-SIG-Mac mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
perhaps specifically this thread https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2015-October/011641.html which points to the R-admin manual and especially https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#OS-X >From the discussion (especially the posts by Brian Ripley) it seems like it >should be possible to use gfortran-5.2 via editing the R_HOME/etc/Makeconf or >~/.R/Makevars.

The error reads: BioC_mirror: https://bioconductor.org Using Bioconductor 3.3 (BiocInstaller 1.21.1), R Under development (unstable) (2015-11-16 r69640). Installing package(s) ‘acepack’ Paket, das nur als Quelltext vorliegt und eventuell Übersetzung von C/C++/Fortran benötigt.: ‘acepack’ Do you want to attempt to install these from sources? y/n: y installing the source package ‘acepack’ versuche URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/acepack_1.3-3.3.tar.gz' Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 33590 bytes (32 KB) ================================================== downloaded 32 KB * installing *source* package ‘acepack’ ... ** Paket ‘acepack’ erfolgreich entpackt und MD5 Summen überprüft ** libs gfortran-4.8 -fPIC -g -O2 -c ace.f -o ace.o make: gfortran-4.8: No such file or directory make: *** [ace.o] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘acepack’ * removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/library/acepack’ which indicates that "gfortran-4.8" is missing. I have however installed the recommended "gfortran-5.2" for El Capitan from here: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries#MacOS Yesterday, I tried quite some time to install 4.8-versions of gfortran available from the website above, however they are not compatible with El Capitan (Error reads: kern.osversion not recognized: »15.0.0) and searched through several newsgroups reporting on that issue, I was however not able to fix that. Did anyone of the community here experienced similar issues and have some suggestions for me!? Thank you very much!
