Hi, Thanks for your response and I'm sorry, I should have been more specific regarding the version of XML. I'm using XML 3.9-4. As a sort of follow-on question? Is there a preferable way to install this version of XML from github? Do I have to use git to clone it, or maybe use the install_github function from Hadley's devtools package? I note that the README indicates that: "This R package is not in the R package format in the github repository. It was initially developed in 1999 and was intended for use in both S-Plus and R and so requires a different structure for each." So I was wondering what the general procedure is and whether there's anything special I need to do to install it? Thanks.
