</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" target="_blank">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" target="_blank">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>
