R help - Jul 2014 - Compilation fails for package 'BayesTree' on R 3.0.1 for Windows

Hello, I am trying to install package BayesTree on R 3.0.1 for Windows, but
I am getting a compilation error: "compilation failed for package
'BayesTree'".

Here is what I am doing:

I installed Rstudio for windows from binary file.
On Rstudio, I go to Tools->Install Packages.
I select 'Install from Package archive file: BayesTree_0.3-1.tar.gz
(previously I had downloaded the archived package file
BayesTree_0.3-1.tar.gz from
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/BayesTree/ archive.)


Why am I trying to install archived BayesTree package on old R 3.0.1?

I was asked to take over a project using BayesTree package. The project
used to work fine, until R 3.1.0 recently came out. Apparently BayesTree
package was removed in R 3.1.0 from the CRAN repository, because "memory
access errors were not corrected".(
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/BayesTree/index.html). My
understanding is that I need to install BayesTree package, because it is
used by the project. So, I made a clean install of R 3.0.1 and tried to
install BayesTree from the archive file.

I would appreciate very much any help or advice on how I may be able get to
work again this R project requiring BayesTree package. I am new to R and
the error message I am getting does not provide much insight on how to
solve the problem, so I have no clue what to do.

Thank you in advance for any help,

Javier

That is the source.
Have you installed the tools you need to compile it? The Installation 
and Admin manual tells you about it.
