Problems installing TTR on RStudio #61

Closed devtl closed 6 years ago

Hey Joshua,

Im having issues trying to install your package. The installation process keeps throwing up an error,

make: gfortran-4.8: No such file or directory
make: *** [movingAverages.o] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘TTR’
* removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/library/TTR’

and then exiting with a non-zero exit status.

I've tried installing from CRAN, gitHub, and even downloading tar.gz. All same error and exit status.

sessionInfo()

R version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 (64-bit)
Running under: macOS  10.13.2

Before getting to your problem, I want you to know that I'm closing this because there's nothing I can change in the TTR package to fix your problem. I use this tracker to organize bugs and features, not as a support forum. So, no hard feelings... I'm simply trying to stay organized.

Your problem is specific to macOS. There's been some sort of issue with macOS binaries for R-3.3.x on CRAN, which is why you can't install that way. The error you provided is because you do not have a Fortran compiler installed. Getting a suitable compiler is documented on CRAN.

You might find success by upgrading to R-3.4.x. Though I'm not sure if those macOS binaries are available either.
