build from github fails #17

Closed gdbassett closed 8 years ago

gdbassett commented 8 years ago

I attempted to install the dev version from github (to see if the %pin% issue in issue #16 was fixed in 1.4-2-1) I was unable to build from github. Build is on an up-to-date mac pro with R version 3.3.1 and RStudio 0.99.902.

You need to install the build tools https://www.rstudio.com/products/rpackages/devtools/.

I presume you need Xcode on a Mac.
