Fail to install from the source.

[hnguyen19]

R runs and Rstudio runs but does not produce pdf, word, or HTML documents that I knitted. My homebrew, Xcode, and Xquartz are up to date.

`install.packages("systemfonts")

  There is a binary version available but the source
  version is later:
            binary source needs_compilation
systemfonts  1.0.1  1.0.2              TRUE

Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation? (Yes/no/cancel) yes
installing the source package ‘systemfonts’

is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:

You either need to install the binary version or have the listed system libraries available so it can be compiled from source

Did you mean brew? My homebrew is up-to-date.
`Example usage:
brew search TEXT|/REGEX/
brew info [FORMULA|CASK...]
brew install FORMULA|CASK...
brew update
brew upgrade [FORMULA|CASK...]
brew uninstall FORMULA|CASK...
brew list [FORMULA|CASK...]

  Troubleshooting:
    brew config
    brew doctor
    brew install --verbose --debug FORMULA|CASK
