This is not an appropriate topic for R-help (see the posting guide), and it is what R-sig-mac is there for.

'on Mac' is not specific enough: they will need to know your exact OS.

But it looks like a path problem. Those tools are part of Xcode, and tools in its path is not being found *when the package installation is being run*. And as the comment inline below shows, you didn't tell us how you did this.

BTW, your R is very old, and the posting guide asked you to update before posting. I don't think that would solve the immediate problem here, but it might avoid subsequent ones.
