Here is what I found. I had to go back to as early as R 3.0.3 (March, 2014) along with Rtools30.exe that works with that version of R, in order for devtools to work right. With other/later version of R, I end up building a package with library(devtools); build("yenlib",binary=F) with no error message but the package does not run correctly; or with library(devtools); build("yenlib",binary=T) which deliver an error that says zip command failed (bevtools calls Rtools when binary=T).
Updated versions are good, but what's the use if they do not work for a situation like this. Any help/insight would be appreciated.
