This may be a dumb question and the answer may make me feel dumber. I have had trouble for years with R packages wanting Rtools on my machine and not being able to use it. Many packages are fine as binaries are available. I have loaded Rtools and probably need to change my PATH or something. But I recently suggested to someone that they might want to use the tabyl() function in the janitor package that I find helpful. I get a warning when I install it about Rtools but it works fine. When they install it, it fails. I assumed they would get it from CRAN the same way I did as we are both using Windows and from within RSTUDIO. In the past, I have run into other packages I could not use and just moved on but it seems like time to see if this global problem has a work-around. And, in particular, I have the latest versions of both R and RSTUDIO which can be a problem when other things are not as up-to-date. Or, maybe some people with R packages could be convinced to make binaries available in the first place? Avi
