installing Zelig 4.1-4 - Zelig

24 Apr 2013

Hi all,

I am trying to install Zelig version 4.1-4, which is in development. I followed the
instructions on http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/zelig/install to install releases that are
in development. Here is what's happening in my R Console:

version 2.15.3 (2013-03-01) -- "Security Blanket"

Please download and install Rtools 3.0 from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/
and then run find_rtools().

To address this error, I copied and pasted the code found here into my R console:
 https://github.com/hadley/devtools/blob/master/R/rtools.r

Although I was able to get R to properly find rtools, I encountered additional problems: 

...

Does anyone know what the next steps should be to install Zelig 4.1-4? Thanks.
