Hello again, I am using library(devtools) to build my custom package. Therefore I installed (normal/default installation) the RTools from 'http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/' with Rtools30.exe. However I am getting following error:> library(devtools)WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages, but no version of Rtools compatible with R 2.15.3 was found. (Only the following incompatible version(s) of Rtools were found:3.0) Please download and install Rtools 2.16 from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/ and then run find_rtools().> find_rtools()WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages, but no version of Rtools compatible with R 2.15.3 was found. (Only the following incompatible version(s) of Rtools were found:3.0) Please download and install Rtools 2.16 from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/ and then run find_rtools(). I am using R2.15.3 32 bit with Windows 7 Home Basic. Can someone help what I need to do to make 'devtools' work? Thanks for your help

Thus, the issue is probably a purely formal bug in devtools's version comparison logic, and you need to pester its maintainer. Unless it has been fixed already, in which case you need to update devtools. -pd -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd.mes at cbs.dk Priv: PDalgd at gmail.com
Just a guess but it looks like you need to upgrade to the latest release (2013-04-03, Masked Marvel) John Kane Kingston ON Canada> -----Original Message----- > From: bogaso.christofer at gmail.com > Sent: Sun, 12 May 2013 14:40:10 +0545 > To: r-help at r-project.org > Subject: [R] Need help to building R package with devtools > > Hello again, > > I am using library(devtools) to build my custom package. > > Therefore I installed (normal/default installation) the RTools from > 'http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/' with Rtools30.exe. > However I am getting following error: > >> library(devtools) > WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages, but no version of > Rtools compatible with R 2.15.3 was found.
