Dear Ivan and all
I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I read
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50192038/r-devtools-build-zip-failure
from which I learned to install devtools.
Then, my problem is resolved. Log file is attached below. Thank you all.
If someone can explain what I was doing (cause I still have no clue),
I'd still be happy to listen.
