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 -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
