I am attempting to update Bioconductor within my RStudio environment. When I do so, it gives the following warning message at the end:

 

  1. In install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, repos = repos,  :
  2.   installation of package ‘coin’ had non-zero exit status

 

I am running coin v 1.1-3. 

 

I downloaded the new version of coin from RForge, attempted to install it from source and get the following:

 

  1. * installing *source* package ‘coin’ ...
  2. ** package ‘coin’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

It looks like you're missing the fortran libraries needed to compile this package.  I don't have a Mac to test this with, but I would download and install GFortran 6.1 from https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries#MacOS 

A direct link to the version recommended for R-3.4.0 is http://coudert.name/software/gfortran-6.1-ElCapitan.dmg

It might also be worth while to investigate why the source package is being installed; if it were binary (the default, I think) then there would be no need to compile it.

One common scenario is that the package is not available as a binary because it fails to pass R CMD build and check on mac. This seems to be the case for coin as evidenced by it's check report. The end result is that by installing from source, the user goes to great lengths to install a broken package.

But actually in this case the CRAN check report looks unusual -- I don't know how to contact the CRAN people about these issues.

R has a number of dependencies that are sometimes difficult to satisfy on macOS. If possible, you might consider installing R using homebrew (https://brew.sh/) by first installing homebrew following the instructions on the site and then doing the following from terminal to install R.

brew update
brew upgrade
brew tap homebrew/science
brew install r

This will install R and all dependencies (e.g. GFortran), RStudio will be able to find and use them, and then you will be able to install coin using the standard procedure.

The downside to a homebrew installation is that you will have to compile every package by source, though, which can be a pain ...

I think the alternative is to follow the R-core recommendations.

https://r.research.att.com/man/R-admin.html#Installing-R-under-macOS
https://r.research.att.com/
https://r.research.att.com/tools/

at least for packages like coin that make use of C / C++ / fortran code but not other specialized libraries
