cannot install R package from source In Mac OSX Maverick [duplicate]

Answer 1

Please refer to this link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19505252/1510531. After modifying the following lines in the Makeconf file in /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/etc:

CC=clang
CXX=clang++
CXXFLAGS= -O3 -pedantic

I can now install R source packages :)

Update

According to @asieira, the last CXXFLAGS is not recommended, so just make the following changes:

CC=clang
CXX=clang++
