[datatable-help] data.table for R 3.0.1

[Matthew Dowle]

Not sure on that error either, there should be an output log
somewhere. 

But another option is the .zip on the data.table homepage :


"Last recommended dev snapshot precompiled for Windows: v1.8.9 rev874
13 May 2013 [5]"


http://datatable.r-forge.r-project.org/data.table_1.8.9.zip 

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

Instead I try to avoid updating software by using as little of it as
possible (for R packages: just stringr and data.table).
