I installed slidify following instructions from here. I installed the windows binaries and started a slidify.rmd file successfully, but I could not install the slidifyLibraries, which makes the build crash. This is the error that follows:

* checking for file 'C:\Users\Roger\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpYrHr6k\ramnathv-slidifyLibraries-8e8e781/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing 'slidifyLibraries':
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
* checking for LF line-endings in source and make files
* checking for empty or unneeded directories
* building 'slidifyLibraries_0.1.tar.gz'
 ERROR
packaging into .tar.gz failed
Error: Command failed (1)
In addition: Warning message:

When installing Rtools I was directed to install them directly from cran, which I did. This is the session info:

  • Can you provide your `sessionInfo()`? Have you installed packages from source using `devtools` before? Do you have Rtools installed? – Ramnath Dec 22 '12 at 04:47
  • @Ramnath, I updated my query with the session info. Thanks for your reply – rogervv Dec 22 '12 at 18:53
