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

How exactly did you install XML, and how did you install R-devel? There
are several different binary versions of XML on CRAN, and lots of ways
to build or download R-devel.
I am currently building a copy of R-devel, and will try using
install.packages("XML")
to see if I can reproduce your problem. I'm not certain my locally
built copy will match the CRAN binary of R-devel, but we'll see.

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.
