sudo rm /private/var/db/receipts/com.gnu.gfortran.plist

Remove the clang4 installer receipt:

sudo rm /private/var/db/receipts/com.rbinaries.clang4.bom
sudo rm /private/var/db/receipts/com.rbinaries.clang4.plist

Remove the Makevars file and the Renviron file:

rm ~/.R/Makevars
rm ~/.Renviron

Install Homebrew from the terminal:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

Create the directory ~/.R/, if it does not exist:

sudo mkdir ~/.R

Create a file named Makevars in this directory:

sudo touch ~/.R/Makevars

Open the Makevars file and paste the following lines in it:

LOC = /usr/local/gfortran/
CC=$(LOC)/bin/gcc -fopenmp
CXX=$(LOC)/bin/g++ -fopenmp
# -O3 should be faster than -O2 (default) level optimisation ..
CFLAGS=-g -O3 -Wall -pedantic -std=gnu99 -mtune=native -pipe
CXXFLAGS=-g -O3 -Wall -pedantic -std=c++11 -mtune=native -pipe
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/gettext/lib -L$(LOC)/lib -Wl,-rpath,$(LOC)/lib
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/gettext/include -I$(LOC)/include
-I/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include

The Makevars file can be opened and edited from the R console:

file.edit("~/.R/Makevars")
