Dear friends,
I am trying to release a new update to psych and psychTools and am having problems with revdep_check

The error message from revdep_check is less than helpful:?

fn is 

fn  <-  "/Users/WR/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/psychTools/"

revdep_check(fn,num_workers=8)
?? CHECK ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 15 packages ??
[0/15] 00:00:15 | ETA:  ?s | (8) afex [I], bootnet [I], modnets [I], psych [I], alphaci [D], C...Error: Could not find tools necessary to compile a package
Call `pkgbuild::check_build_tools(debug = TRUE)` to diagnose the problem.
Trying to compile a simple C file
Error: Could not find tools necessary to compile a package
Call `pkgbuild::check_build_tools(debug = TRUE)` to diagnose the problem.
rror: Could not find tools necessary to compile a package

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Seems like you are on macOS. You need to install XCode or the Command
Line Tools to be able to compile packages with C/C++/Fortran code.

Thanks.  Although I have had Xtools for quite a while, it had not been activated.  Installing a new copy made all the difference
