I've installed R from Mran and tried to check if it's actually running multi-threaded as instructed here https://mran.microsoft.com/documents/rro/multithread/#mt-setget.

First, I tried to run getMKLthreads() command and it could not find the function. Next, I tried installing RevoUtilsMath package (which should have been come installed with Mran I guess) but I got the error in the title.

Running on OSX Sierra.

On OSX, we do not provide RevoUtilsMath or the MKL libraries (and control functions) as that OS provides its own Accelerate framework for multi-threaded computation.
