Issues installing on M1 Max MacBook pro

[jhemberger]

Having issues installing the package on my new MacBook running an M1 Max chipset. GEOS is installed on latest version. Installation response from RStudio console below:

install.packages("exactextractr")
Installing package into ‘/Users/jhemberger/Library/R/arm64/4.2/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

  There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
              binary source needs_compilation
exactextractr  0.7.2  0.8.2              TRUE

Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation? (Yes/no/cancel) yes
installing the source package ‘exactextractr’

It looks like the error message is telling you that you have the x86 version of GEOS installed, not the ARM one.

Just re-installed GEOS, and it seems to have installed the arm84 version (Pouring geos--3.10.2.arm64_monterey.bottle.tar.gz). Rebooting Rstudio and trying to reinstall exactextractr to the same issue. 🤷‍♂️
