[R] problem installing RDCOMClient on Windows 7

[Kishor Tappita]

Dear R-Users,

I am trying to install RDCOMClient package as it is a dependency for
installing excel.link package. I get the below error while trying to
install RDCOMClient on 64-bit Windows 7 operating system.


g++ -I"D:/R-2.10.0/include" -D_GNU_ -DNO_PYCOM_IPROVIDECLASSINFO -I.
 -Wno-deprecated    -O2 -Wall  -c RUtils.c -o RUtils.o

RUtils.c: In function 'SEXPREC* R_createRCOMUnknownObject(void*, const char*)':
RUtils.c:151:52: error: invalid conversion from 'int' to 'Rboolean'
[-fpermissive]

RUtils.c: In function 'Rboolean ISSInstanceOf(SEXP, const char*)':

Please help me to resolve this issue. RDCOMClient_0.93-0.tar.gz is the
source file that I am using. Below is my session information.
