Hi Kay,

You can just paste in your code/etc in the issue in the future if you want to.

You are on Windows right?

So, ropensci is a repo that we have on github, but it is not an installable package yet.

It looks like you don't have Rtools installed. Did you install that? See here if not

install_github('reponame') only works if it is a repo in the hadley github account. You have to specify which account the repo is in. So when you did install_github("ritis"), do install_github("ritis", "ropensci") instead.

Weird, install_url("https://github.com/ropensci/ritis/archive/master.zip") worked for me. Try installing Rtools, and see if that fixes it.

You can also try installing ritis and taxize from CRAN, binaries for windows are avail. for both here and here. Just do install.packages("ritis") and install.packages("taxize")

Let me know if you still have problems.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the quick response - installing from CRAN solved things!
BTW, the package is a blast!

ps: The markdown messed with my r output, that's why I uploaded it instead.
