RTools Xcode gfortran dyld_stub_binding_helper

Hi,


I am trying to compile an R package on OS X 10.9, and need some help.

(R is a statistical language, which allows users to build custom statistical packages.

Sometimes the package may make external calls to C, C++, or Fortran code,

in which case command line tools are called by R/RTools during the build process)

The particular R package, which I'm trying to build, contains Fortran90 code.

An R package is typically compiled using the following commands from a shell.

R CMD build <package name>

R CMD install <package name>

This tells R to build and install the package. Now, my problem:

I think the linker is unable to see some library, which normally should be seen.

Here is the error message I get:


ld: symbol dyld_stub_binding_helper not found, normally in

crt1.o/dylib1.o/bundle1.o for architecture x86_64

fatal error: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/

Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/libtool:

internal link edit command failed


My machine runs: Mac, OS X 10.9.5

R version 3.1.1. I have RStudio installed as well.

I installed Xcode Version 6.1.1 (6A2008a), and the command line tools.

I also installed gfortran-4.2.3, and tcltk-8.5.5-x11.

The package compiled successfully on Windows, so it must be some setting issue,

presumably related with OS X 10.9, Xcode, Rtools, gfortran.

I read from some online document, that the problem may be because OS X 10.9 removed the /Developer directory,

which contains the libraries required by the above compile, I am not sure.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), null
