problem in installing the package "miceadds"

General

Hi all,
I'm trying to install the package "miceadds", but met the problems. I don't know what it means and how to solve it. Thanks for any help.

install.packages('miceadds',repos='https://cloud.r-project.org')

The error message:

ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/usr/local/gfortran/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin15/6.1.0'
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/usr/local/gfortran/lib'

For compiling packages from source on macOS system, you need to install the recommended development tools, see the CRAN documentation for mor info.

Thanks, I have installed using this method before, but I'm not sure why it did not work this time.
So should I install [gfortran-6.1.pkg]?

It is quite long so I extracted some of the warnings during the installation here:

  There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
         binary source needs_compilation
miceadds 3.1-37  3.8-9              TRUE

Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation?

Yes, the error message says you don't have the gfortran compiler installed

Also, you could try to avoid compilation of packages by updating your R version, precompiled binary versions of packages are available for the latest R versions only.

I tried to compile without updating the current R version, and it worked. Thanks.
