How can I download a package with 'invalid active developer path'? [duplicate] - r

Question

I just upgraded R and R Studio to the most recent versions.
I am trying to load the package RHRV and R Studio aborts the session due to a fatal error. It is associated with the following error:
loading package: tcltk
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
Loading required package: tkrplot
The command:
library("tcltk")
gives the following error message:
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
Warning message:
running command ''/usr/bin/otool' -L '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/tcltk/libs//tcltk.so'' had status 1
Running the following command crashes R Studio:
library("tkrplot")
Here is some additional information of interest:

Answer 1

With many thanks to Ben, I can provide a solution to the problem. The issue is that El Capitan has a somewhat unknown xcode issue.
Open the Terminal App and enter:
xcode-select --install
It takes a few minutes to load the patch needed to run xcode. The error described above is highlighted in several instances, and this was the workaround.
I then restarted my computer and loaded the package "tkrplot" directly from the source with the code:
install.packages("tkrplot", type="source")
Once I completed these three steps, I was able to load the package "RHRV" and the associated packages "tkrplot" and "tcltk" without issue.

You'll only have the "invalid active developer path" problem when you build package from source. If you use the pre-compiled versions from CRAN, you won't have to worry about it. Try
install.packages("tkrplot", type="binary")
