If you don't have 10.11 SDK you can try MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.11 Cheers, Simon > Best, > Thomas > > 2017-04-18 19:44 GMT+02:00 Simon Urbanek <simon.urba...@r-project.org>: > Thomas, > > > > On Apr 12, 2017, at 4:30 AM, Thomas Obadia <thomas.oba...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Dear R team, > > > > I've recently come across a strange bug which seems undocumented and > > contradicts the INSTALL instructions from the sources of R-GUI. > > > > Running El Capitan, I usually install all my distributions using Homebrew > > and keep everything up-to-date (except for the OS which is not Sierra yet). > > The current R.app 1.6.8 fails to run on El Capitan, with a warning "You're > > running 10.11.6.
