To Reproduce

(If you developed your own code, please provide a short script that reproduces the error. For existing examples, please provide link.) run make -f R-package/Makefile rpkg after compiling MXNet 1.8 from source on Mac OS Big Sur 11.4

Steps to reproduce

(Paste the commands you ran that produced the error.)

1.make -f R-package/Makefile rpkg 2.

What have you tried to solve it?

1. Reinstalled opencv (opencv 4.5.3_1 is already installed and up-to-date.)
2. Reinstalled openblas (openblas 0.3.17 is already installed and up-to-date)

Can you also try the current release candidate https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/releases/tag/1.9.0.rc6? Did you follow the https://mxnet.apache.org/versions/1.8.0/get_started/build_from_source.html?

Thanks @leezu ...I ran cmake on the 1.9.0.rc6 release candidate and it is failing at 'modulated_deformable_convolution.cc.o'. Given below is the step with the fatal error.

Going back to v1.8, is it possible to investigate the rpkg error and check for a resolution? I did follow all the steps given in the build process (as per https://mxnet.apache.org/versions/1.8.0/get_started/build_from_source.html)
