Conda build R package fails at C compiler issue on MacOS Mojave

Question

I\'m trying to install an R package called treatSens with conda to use it in Jupyter notebook. The commands I executed:

conda install conda-build conda skeleto

Answer 1

As a quick and dirty workaround (from this comment), I was able to install packages in R using below code in RStudio (opened in conda env)

Sys.setenv(CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT="/")

Now, you can install any R package via RStudio Console e.g.

install.packages("tidyverse")

Hope this helps.
