Need help to building R package with devtools

Christofer Bogaso 
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:
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
