"The fortran was installed in usr2 and I moved local to the usr directory and then executed
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin"

I don't know what you mean by "moved local to the usr directory". It sounds like you moved some executable file (e.g. the fortran install). You should not do that. Install scripts do more than simply put a file in a directory, and other things likely rely on where the executable is installed.

Calling "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin" won't affect anything, unless you also started RStudio from the terminal where you ran the export command. But that's not clear from your message.

The installation of PerformanceAnalytics failed because it couldn't find the fortran executable:
gfortran-4.8 -fPIC -Wall -g -O2 -c momentF.f90 -o momentF.o
make: gfortran-4.8: No such file or directory

These all appear to be issues with configuring your Mac to install compiled code from source. I don't have a Mac, and I doubt many who follow this forum do either, so you're unlikely to get much help here. You could try posting on R-SIG-Mac.

https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/

Used above to load
gfortran-4.2.3.pkg (OS X 10.5+, signed, 64-bit driver)

The fortran was installed in usr2 and I moved local to the usr directory and then executed

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

In RStudio I did the install and said yes from sources

install.packages("quantstrat", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

"failed when I tried doing it on my MAC" does not make it easy to help you, which is why I requested: "If you still have trouble, please provide more details (e.g. your R version, operating system (and version), etc)." You need to be as specific as possible.

Thank you for the quick response I was able to load quantstrat and it's dependencies in R from sources using Windows, but failed when I tried doing it on my MAC.

quantstrat, blotter, and FinancialInstrument have moved to GitHub: https://github.com/braverock/ Please try to install using the sources there. If you still have trouble, please provide more details (e.g. your R version, operating system (and version), etc).
