I maintain a few packages on CRAN, one of which depends on the XML package. Using the latest R-devel (2017-12-13 r73907), I can install the XML Windows binary from CRAN but I cannot load it:
> require(XML) Loading required package: XML Error: package or namespace load failed for 'XML': package 'XML' was installed by an R version with different internals; it needs to be reinstalled for use with this R version I tried installing XML from source, but the compilation requires the libxml library. Following the suggestions of various online users, I've tried putting libxml header files from different sources (www.omegahat.net/RSXML/<http://www.omegahat.net/RSXML/>, https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/) in the R-devel/include/libxml directory, but C compilation fails (not surprisingly). I'm not a C programmer and would appreciate any help on how to install the R package XML from source on a Windows system. Thank-you.
