Dear Robert, As a brief addendum to my previous message, I’ve now installed the newest version of Xcode, and I still have no trouble using the Rcmdr package.
I did get the following message when I initially loaded the Rcmdr package: “Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please run “sudo xcodebuild -license” and then retry this command.” But the Rcmdr loaded properly both before *and* after I followed the instruction in the message.
