Build Log for R

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

This sounds like you have not upgraded to Xcode 9 and the Xcode 9 version of the command line tools; please do so.

The log confirms you are using clang 800.0.38, which is from Xcode 8.0 which is not compatible with High Sierra.

Thank you very much, Everything works now once I upgraded Xcode and the command line tools.
