Hello, All:

      "update.packages()" fails for me on packages DescTools, digest, jpeg, mgcv, openxlsx, rlang, and spam.  It first says:


  There are binary versions available but the
  source versions are later:
           binary  source needs_compilation
DescTools 0.99.29 0.99.30              TRUE
digest     0.6.21  0.6.22              TRUE
jpeg        0.1-8 0.1-8.1              TRUE
mgcv       1.8-29  1.8-30              TRUE
openxlsx  4.1.0.1   4.1.2              TRUE
rlang       0.4.0   0.4.1              TRUE
spam        2.3-0 2.3-0.2              TRUE


      It then asks, "Do you want to install from sources the packages which need compilation? (Yes/no/cancel)".  I reply "y" or "Yes".  For each package, it says it was

... successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** using staged installation
** libs
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘DescTools’
* removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.6/Resources/library/DescTools’ * restoring previous ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.6/Resources/library/DescTools’


      A web search for "xcrun: error: invalid active developer path" identified a couple of discussions on StackExchange that say that I need to have Xcode installed correctly.  I think I have everything up to date:  macOS 10.15.1 Catalina with Xcode downloaded and installed via the App store.  RStudio 1.2.5001 with:


sessionInfo()
R version 3.6.1 (2019-07-05)

"https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/254380/why-am-i-getting-an-invalid-active-developer-path-when-attempting-to-use-git-a"; recommends, "xcode-select --install", which to me seems like it should be equivalent to the install I just did via the App Store. This StackExchange discussion also said, "If the above alone doesn't do it, then also run:  xcode-select --reset".  However, before I do that, I thought I'd ask here if anyone else is having a problem like this.  And if yes, and if they've fixed it, what did they do to fix it?


      Thanks,
      Spencer Graves
