I removed and reinstalled the packages (BreakoutDetection, devtools, and their dependencies) and was not able to reproduce the error. My guess is that it may be a Windows problem and/or the C/C++ compiler that you are using.

Since I don't have a Windows machine I can't test out this hypothesis however.

Same Problem Here

@ctuwuzida I was finally able to build the package. I've installed this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/?source=typ_redirect and this: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/index.html.

Hope it helps!

Thanks @fabiogiglietto for sharing.

@fabiogiglietto Thanks for sharing your solution with us.

Thanks @fabiogiglietto. One point I'd like to add is that you have to restart R / RStudio after installing the two pieces of software.

Hi, this did not work for me, I've found a blog post where the guy explains what's going on with the working directories. You have to be careful when you reinstall rtools. It is explained here : http://www.ahschulz.de/2013/07/23/installing-rmysql-under-windows/
