Unable to install 0.8.2 on Mac

[sgaj]

When trying to install ggiraph v0.8.2 on my Mac I run into a similar issue as reported in https://github.com/davidgohel/ggiraph/issues/178

OS Version: Mac OS Big Sur 11.6.5 R version: 4.0.2

Tried everything that was recommended in that ticket (see below), but to no avail. Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to resolve this?

//edit The referred ticket is not 100% similar, as it is clearly seems to be a compiler issue. In this issue the installer generates an error due to a missing file:

raster.cpp:7:10: fatal error: 'png.h' file not found
#include <png.h>
         ^~~~~~~

(full log below)

Attempted solutions

Tried installing through RStudio package manager

Selected MacOS and installed package using source link provided by PM:

> install.packages("ggiraph", repos = "https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/cran/latest/")
Installing package into ‘/Users/xxx/Library/R/4.0/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘ggiraph’
Do you want to attempt to install these from sources? (Yes/no/cancel) 

--> Package needs compilation --> runs into same error.

Update gcc to latest version

brewer install gcc

This installed GCC v11.3.0

The missing png.h file indicated that the libpng system library may not have been available. After installing this library (through brewer), I was able to install the package.

Still, the warning messages remain and I am uncertain if these can be safely ignored. So I'm leaving it up to the developers to decide if this ticket can be closed or if they want to address the warning messages!

[davidgohel]

We can ignore the warnings.

About libpng, it is a mandatory library when using R for mac...
