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)

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?
A quick asking around indicates that Rtools 3.0 should work fine for 2.15.3 maintenance. 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
