Yes. That's the version I've been discussing that has non-zero exit
status. That situation is why CRAN retired the prob package. It's possible
you installed that library earlier in development and it's been "carried"
along. It no longer installs, now.
The problems with all of this seem to have started this month according
to the conversations. However, no one has mentioned any solutions or
workarounds except the one mentioned in passing (2.9).
Not true. Not even close to being true. I explained it all on the SO
question page that you posted 2 days ago.

The issue is fAsianOptions. Is there a version that works with the
latest version of R? If not, which version of it works with which version
of R and where can it be found? I tried several at the archive already.

The prob package has been archived because it depends upon some other
packages which have issues.
However, such projects as Introduction to Probability and Statistics
depend upon it for learning. There are a few other resources that
it.
Does anyone know of any workarounds?
Someone at stack exchange mentioned using R 2.9.
I'm not sure I would trust that person. They seem a bit uninformed.
However, that broke my
RStudio (WSOD) and the dependent packages still wouldn't install,
The latest version of pkg-prob at the Archive directory of CRAN
indicates that it was last updated within this year. The DESCRIPTION file
indicates that it does not need compilation, but:
Depends: combinat, fAsianOptions
So there should be code in text files in its ../R directory which can
be sourced from that directory.
~myuser_name$ ls /Users/../Downloads/prob/R
characteristicfunctions.r simulation.r
genData.R spaces-examples.r
misc.r spaces-prob.r
prob.r utils-events.r
Or you can install from source after downloading:
install.packages("~/Downloads/prob", repo=NULL,type="source")
# Success
library(prob) # So does require having several other packages
