How do I install a Windows package built from source?

Hello,

I'm trying to connect to a MongoDB through the rmongodb package. Here

is

my system info:

R version 3.1.1 (2014-07-10)
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)

I can install the rmongodb package but it won't load, see below:

install.packages("rmongodb")

Installing package into ?C:/Users/David/Documents/R/win-library/3.1?
(as ?lib? is unspecified)
trying URL '

http://cran.revolutionanalytics.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.1/rmongodb_1.6.5.zip

'
Content type 'application/zip' length 1155000 bytes (1.1 Mb)
opened URL
downloaded 1.1 Mb

package ?rmongodb? successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

The downloaded binary packages are in
C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpqSKJi9\downloaded_packages

library("rmongodb")

Error in get(".packageName", where) : lazy-load database 'P' is

corrupt

In addition: Warning message:
In get(".packageName", where) : internal error -3 in R_decompress1
Error: package or namespace load failed for ?rmongodb?

So, next I remove it, then try installing with devtools as shown

here:

library(devtools)
install_github("rmongodb", "mongosoup")

but that just flat out fails to install. So now I've downloaded the

source

and have successfully built the package with Visual Studio 2012 but

I'm not

sure how to load it into R.
Here is the directory listing:

ls  "Documents/visual studio 2012/Projects/rmongodb/Debug/rmongodb"

App.xaml          Common         resources.pri             

rmongodb.exe

 rmongodb.ilk  rmongodb.pdb
AppxManifest.xml  MainPage.xaml  rmongodb.build.appxrecipe 

rmongodb.exp

 rmongodb.lib  rmongodb.winmd

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you,
David Parker
