Installing from source on Mac

[dfalbel]

In order to install from source on Mac I had to install gfortran as described here.

I was seeing some errors like this:

ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/usr/local/gfortran/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin15/6.1.0'
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/usr/local/gfortran/lib'
ld: library not found for -lgfortran
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [fable.so] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘fable’

I am posting this here since it took me some time to figure out how to fix this and maybe, this post can help other people with the same problem.

It may be related to #99

Looks like even though you've installed gfortran, R is still unable to find it.
Can you check if the places where R is looking for gfortran exist?

@mitchelloharawild The problem was solved after installing fortran from here. I posted my solution here so maybe others could find it useful.

Oh, I see! Great, thanks for your tip!

Thank you @dfalbel, installing gfortran on Linux Manjaro solved a similar issue. Many thanks!
