JJB,
I installed R using instructions given here.
https://github.com/sethrfore/homebrew-r-srf
It seems that installing R using brew cask will not provide all capabilities. In any case, I want to use R with Emacs.
I will try to reinstall and see if the problem goes away.
Thanks,
Naresh

Subject: Re: [R-SIG-Mac] In install.packages(), C compiler cannot create executables
Greetings and Salutations Naresh Gurbuxani,
Don't use homebrew to install R. If you must use homebrew, install R via the brew cask project to obtain the CRAN binary vs. the homebrew compiled variant.
Sincerely,
JJB

Hello,
On my Mac, everything is installed using brew. I am not able to install some R packages which look for C compiler. Below is an example session on the terminal.
I will be thankful for any suggestions. If this question does not belong to this group, can you suggest where to look?
