<p>Not sure on that error either, there should be an output log somewhere.</p>
<p>But another option is the .zip on the data.table homepage :</p>

<p>It was compiled using winbuilder but I don't recall whether winbuilder was R3 at that point. </p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Steve,
<div>Problem solved! If I go back for more information enough times, I'm bound to start a new R session sooner or later, and that seemed to do the trick.</div>
<div>I'm not tech-savvy enough to use SVN. Instead I try to avoid updating software by using as little of it as possible (for R packages: just stringr and data.table).</div>
<div>Thanks again,</div>

Hmm -- sorry, this is rather strange and I'm also not well versed in<br /> smoking out windows compilation problems.<br /><br /> Can you provide more of the installation log so we can see what the<br /> error is, exactly?<br /><br /> I say it's strange because it seems as if CRAN actually has the<br /> compiled version of the latest version of the package for windows<br /> there:<br /><br /><a href="http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/data.table/index.html">http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/data.table/index.html</a><br /><br /> In particular:<br /><br /><a href="http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/r-release/data.table_1.8.8.zip">http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/r-release/data.table_1.8.8.zip</a><br /><br /> Perhaps you might try changing the CRAN mirror you are using to see if<br /> you can grab it? Or just download from the link above and install the<br /> compiled version locally?<br /><br /> As for me -- I try to keep my version of data.table tied to SVN and<br /> periodically svn up and recompile ... I've had no compilation problems<br /> as of late (I just recompiled now to double check), so I'm not sure<br /> what's going on on your setup.<br /><br /> Sorry that I can't be of much help here, perhaps some other windows<br /> users can chime in.<br /><span class="HOEnZb"><span style="color: #888888;"><br /> -steve<br /></span></span>
