hello, I have the same issue on my MacBookPro M2. Here is the output of install_packages("ragg"):

I have installed R-ragg via MacPorts but it doesn't seem to work. I should add that although I have 15+ years of experience with Ubuntu, I'm a newbie with MacOS.

[thomasp85]

@joelgombin I have no experience with MacPorts or what R-ragg is on there so it is a bit difficult to help

Usually I would advise to just install the binary when on a Mac. If you insist on compiling from source, then use home-brew to install the system libraries that the error message suggests

[thomasp85]

@ianutin have you tried following the direction in the error message and installed the relevant system libraries?

[paulsiu1887]

Note, not the OP, but I was able to fix the same issue by trying to install each of the module listed in the error message. Eventually, the following did the trick

sudo apt install libtiff5-dev

Since everyone is going to be a little different (I am using PopOS 22.04 LTS), but following the instructions seems to work.
