renv::restore() failing to restore project library

[mtwente]

Current Behavior

Running renv::restore() to set up the package environment for running the pipeline is not working as expected on macOS Sonoma 14.2.1.

Reproduction / Steps To Reproduce

• open R project using a recent Mac OS
• run renv::restore()
• renv downloads recorded packages successfully
• compilation fails with this output:

ld: warning: search path '/opt/gfortran/lib/gcc/aarch64-apple-darwin20.0/12.2.0' not found
ld: warning: search path '/opt/gfortran/lib' not found
ld: library 'gfortran' not found
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [Matrix.so] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘Matrix’
* removing ‘/Users/[username]/github/nordatlantisk-ft/renv/staging/1/Matrix’
install of package 'Matrix' failed [error code 1]

Solution: Manually install a Fortran compiler (and Xcode, if not already done), see https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/

Anything else?
