Can't install ggsvg package: "Fatal error: cannot open file '../tools/winlibs.R': No such file or directory"

[mattbolanos]

I'm having trouble installing this package on my Windows computer - I was able to install it on my Mac but am running into this error with trying to install it on Windows. I believe the issue may be related to RTools, however this is the only package I seem to have trouble installing (e.g. I was able to install ggrgl with no issues on both computers).

Please try a fresh install. There was a rogue "Makevars.win" that I have removed from the code. Let me know if that fixes it.

Thank you that worked!
