I use Parallels on my iMAC and was able to install quantstrat from sources on the Windows 10.

I will continue to try to get the MAC version running.

Thanks for your help

The link below has discussion of gfortran-4.8 for Mavericks-type
installs (scroll down a bit to the middle of the topic):

https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#macOS <https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#macOS>

If you're on El Capitan or Sierra go here:

https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#El-Capitan-and-Sierra <https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#El-Capitan-and-Sierra>

I think you should probably take the time to install the recommended
gfortran version.  That's what I do. If that's not possible, you can
see here:

https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Customizing-package-compilation <https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Customizing-package-compilation>

for how to point R to whatever fortran compiler that you want to use.

I did follow instructions for getting MAC tools and installed fortran.  I then tried installing quantstrat which failed but I tried from sources. The installer was unable to find the gfortran which does exist on my system, but a different version.

Used above to load
gfortran-4.2.3.pkg (OS X 10.5+, signed, 64-bit driver)

The fortran was installed in usr2 and I moved local to the usr directory and
then executed

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

In RStudio I did the install and said yes from sources

install.packages("quantstrat",
repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org <http://r-forge.r-project.org/> <http://r-forge.r-project.org/ <http://r-forge.r-project.org/>>")
