Ok, figured it out but it was non-trivial. I found the solution here: https://github.com/velocyto-team/velocyto.R/issues/2#issuecomment-352584213
TLDR you need to use homebrew (https://brew.sh/): 1) Install homebrew as linked above 2) Install llvm (and maybe boost): brew install llvm brew install boost 3) Mod your ~/.R/Makevars (nano ~/.R/Makevars) to read: CC=/usr/local/clang4/bin/clang CXX=/usr/local/clang4/bin/clang++ CXX11=/usr/local/clang4/bin/clang++ CXX14=/usr/local/clang4/bin/clang++ CXX17=/usr/local/clang4/bin/clang++ CXX1X=/usr/local/clang4/bin/clang++ LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/clang4/lib That allowed me to properly get rj and rj.gd<http://rj.gd> working again which then allowed me to start using Stat-ET again. I imagine this will solve other problems MacOS X Mojave package installs. --jonathan On Sat, Nov 17, 2018 at 5:50 AM Jonathan Greenberg <jgreenb...@unr.edu<mailto:jgreenb...@unr.edu>> wrote: I'm aware rJava can be installed as a binary and that this is an OS issue, hence posting on r-sig-mac. I assumed more people are familiar with rJava then rj and I'm fairly confident it's the same issue, hence my showing that error. rj is not on CRAN AFAIK so I'm trying to solve the source install issue for that particular package. The manual and the website have not, this far, led me to getting this working. The clang and gfortran installers do not solve the issue. I suspect there is a Makevars solution but, again, I haven't found one that works. This happened post Mojave (I had everything working in High Sierra).

It is a warning from the OS (ld is part of the OS) about parts of the OS being out of step, and has been going on for some time (AFAIR with High Sierra too). You have not shown us the complete output, but on my systems installation of CRAN rJava proceeds. > -- > -- > Jonathan A.
