Unable to install hdf5r package - MacOS, R 4.1

[millerkaplanlab]

Hello, I recently upgraded R to version 4.1 and am no longer able to install hdf5r (Warning in install.packages installation of package 'hdf5r' had non-zero exit status). If I install from source, I get the following error: Error: package or namespace load failed for 'hdf5r' in dyn.load. I've also tried to install from brew (Terminal); however, R does not seem to recognize that it is installed. Any help would be appreciated.

This might help. #171 (comment)

On an M1 Mac the comment from above allowed R to find hdf5 but still could not install. :(

I've managed to install hdf5r 1.3.2; however, I am now getting this error. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘hdf5r’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):

I was wondering if I can get the result of the following scripts?

Open R, run

sessionInfo()
R.version

Then open your terminal, type

h5cc --version

If h5cc is not found, try /opt/homebrew/bin/h5cc --version

Thanks

#171 (comment) this worked for me after I just upgraded to newest version of R (ARM). Thank you @dipterix !
