No. I tried removing devtools and then reinstalling it many times. The problem
is still there. I have also used build_github_devtools() but it still show the
following message -?
WARNING: Rtools 3.2 found on the path at c:/Rtools is not compatible with R
3.1.2.
Please download and install Rtools 3.1 from
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/, remove the incompatible version
from your PATH, then run find_rtools().

are learning R) are facing the same problem. I am really puzzled as to why
RTools32.exe isn't compatible with R 3.1.2 !!

Yes, that was my fault - I hadn't updated devtool's list of Rtools
versions to tell it about 3.2.

I've fixed it in the dev version which can be installed by following
the instructions at
https://github.com/hadley/devtools#updating-to-the-latest-version-of-devtools
 (I'd appreciate it if someone could try this out and let me know if
it doesn't work)
