You may see a number of warnings, but no errors. These warnings are OK, and can be safely ignored.

Please let me know if you run into problems with this.

Note that the versions of R and gfortran that you download need to be compatible with your computer. The main difference now is that older Macs will have an Intel processor, whereas newer Macs will have the M1 (or later) processors. These require different versions of these programs.
