httpuv updating error

[AntVeal]

Hi, When I try and update to any version of httpuv later than 1.4.3 (from 1.4.1) I get the message below, which results in R reverting to the current version.

Any help with deciphering the message or updating the package would be appreciated, I need the later versions for use with the shiny package. Cheers, Ant

It looks like you're using R 3.3.x (I can't tell what the x is from the output). Do you know what version of Rtoools you're using?

Then try updating to Rtools34 or Rtools35 from here and re-install. https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/

Hi, Thanks for the reply - it looks like I don't have Rtools installed on my machine. I'll give it a go and update the thread with the result. Cheers, Ant
