The issue is that you either don’t have gfortran installed, or the R package is looking for it in the wrong place. You may have more luck searching this general problem (R package can’t find gfortran) on other forums like StackOverflow/Bioconductor.

Unfortunately local installation issues are usually system-specific and its very difficult for us to perform remote diagnostics, so we don’t support. Maybe someone else on the forum had and solved this issue in the past and can chime in?

@lliligabriel did you figure this out? I encountered a similar problem and after searching online for a solution I remain stumped.
