I'm trying to install ROracle package on my Windows 7 client. I have Oracle Instant client and Rtools installed, DBI package is istalled, OCI32_LIB environmental variable has been set. But when I try to install from command line:
C:\Temp>R CMD INSTALL --build ROracle_1.1-10.tar.gz

What should I do, how to proceed?
From http://jgilfillan.github.io/2016/05/28/how-to-install-roracle-in-windows-7/
Download binary from oracle:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-technologies/r/roracle/downloads/index.html
The run the following command in r, substituting the file path:
setwd('xxxxx') # set to path of download
install.packages('ROracle_1.2-1.zip', repos = NULL)
Then load the library and use the package - you may have to change XXXX to whatever is in your TNS Names:
library('ROracle')
drv <- dbDriver("Oracle")
con <- dbConnect(drv, "USER GOES HERE", "PASSWORD GOES HERE", dbname='XXX')
test connection:
dbReadTable(con, 'DUAL')
Note that this has also been confirmed to work on Windows 10.
I had this exact problem as well, including the OCI_INC error. They actually talk about it in the INSTALL file in the .tar.gz package, you can read more there.
You have to set the OCI_INC variable to the include directory like this:
set OCI_INC=C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_2\oci\include
Or whereever your file is. Here was my complete setup to get things installed from an Admin privileged command line.
set OCI_LIB64=C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_2\BIN
set OCI_INC=C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_2\oci\include
set PATH=C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_2\BIN;C:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin;%PATH%
"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-30~1.1/bin/x64/R" CMD INSTALL --build "C:/Your/Path/To/ROracle_1.1-10.tar.gz"
Also, make sure to change client_2 to client_1 and OCI_LIB64 to OCI_LIB32 if you are trying to do a 32-bit install.
After following the steps (highlighted in red boxes).
I also ran commands below on R.
So, everything went through well on a Windows 7 64-bit, R 3.4 64bit environment.
Sys.setenv(OCI_LIB64="C:/Oracle/instantclient_12_2/")
Sys.setenv(OCI_INC="C:/Oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1/oci/include")
install.packages("ROracle", dep=T)
I had exactly this problem. It was caused because when installing RTools I did not check the 'edit PATH' checkbox. I uninstalled RTools and reinstalled it again, this time making sure the checkbox was checked, and it worked first time! Hope this helps.
I had a similar error when trying to install ROracle from source.1
After searching around a bit I had to undertake what others have mentioned as well as redownloading the tar.gz. When I double checked the download size it was 10KB instead of 234KB.
Re-Download source from: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ROracle/index.html
Updated the following Environmental Varibles in windows
SET PATH=C:\Rtools\bin;C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3;%PATH%
SET OCI_INC=C:\Oracle_11G_ClientR2\product\11.2.0\client_1\oci\include
SET OCI_LIB32=C:\Oracle_11G_ClientR2\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN
SET OCI_LIB64=C:\Oracle_11G_ClientR2\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN
R CMD INSTALL --build "C:\temp\ROracle_1.1-12.tar.gz"
Output should look like the following:
1 Here is what the previous error looked like:
C:\Temp>R CMD INSTALL --build "C:\\temp\\ROracle_1.1-12.tar.gz"
Error in getOctD(x, offset, len) : invalid octal digit
Along with the 'Basic Package' and the 'ODBC Package', with Oracle 11g, you should copy unpacked files from the 'SDK package' into the subdirectory instantclient_11_2. In this case, you will not need to define the environment variable Sys.setenv (OCI_INC = "...").
This is what worked for me:
Sys.setenv(OCI_LIB32="C:/oracle/product/12.1.0/client_1/BIN/")
Sys.setenv(OCI_INC="C:/oracle/product/12.1.0/client_1/oci/include/")

I'm trying to install XML Package to Rstudio Using the ribbon: Tools--> Install Packages --> Packages: to type XML, but the dropdown list opend had only this packages : xml2, XML2R, xml2relational, xmlparsedata, xmlr, xmlrpc2.
Next, I tried:
install.packages("XML")
but received the warning:

You can download the version you want from here: https://cran.rstudio.com//src/contrib/Archive/XML/
According to their GitHub repo, version 3.99-0.3 should work for you, I can't try it out coz I have R4.0 and I can install only the most recent [3.99-0.5].
Alternatively, when you choose the version you want and run on your R console:
devtools::install_version("XML", version = "3.99-0.3") # or the version you want
Have a try. Let me know.
Check this RStudio Support post which covers how to install older versions of packages.
Be sure to install rtools35 from the archive
Going to R 4.0.2 is not a particularly bad idea at this point.

So you have two options:
Install RTools
You need Rtools to build packages from source on Windows. So visit this page:
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/history.html
and download appropriate version of Rtools to your R version (it seems to be Rtools35 as you probably have R 3.6.3). Note that it's about 1 GB on your hard drive.
Install binary packages
Or if you don't want to install Rtools, you maybe can try to install binary packages and not bother with building it from source. Then run this:
install.packages("psych", type = "binary", dependencies = TRUE)
install.packages("mnormt", type = "binary", dependencies = TRUE)
The current mnormt package depends on R version 4.0.0 or greater. You need to update R to install it, or install an older version. To install an older version you'll need Rtools.

As #Nathan Dobie mentionned, instructions on the ROracle installation were helpful for me. I didn't need Rtools.exe but i had to add oracle instant client in the Environment variables.
Configuration in 64bits:
Under System variables, create OCI_LIB64 if it does not already exist.
Set the value of OCI_LIB64 to D:\app\admin\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN (in your case)
Under System variables, edit PATH to include
D:\app\admin\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN
And you will also need to create OCI_INC with the following value
D:\app\admin\product\11.2.0\client_1\oci\include
Worked very well for me :-)

The downloaded source packages are in
‘C:\Users\Olve\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpUjRTsG\downloaded_packages’
I use RStudio with R 3.3 and Windows 7 64bit, most of the other posts I have seen related to this is from OSX users getting slightly different error messages, and none of their solutions have helped me (downloading and installing symphony, not sure if i have done this correctly either)
Edit: Stedy's solution worked, thanks.
Since its a Windows 7 machine, you will want to use the zip file instead of the tar file:
> install.packages('Rsymphony')
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/zstednic/Documents/R/win-library/3.3’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of
C/C++/Fortran: ‘Rsymphony’
These will not be installed
> install.packages('Rsymphony_0.1-22.zip', repos=NULL)
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/zstednic/Documents/R/win-library/3.3’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
package ‘Rsymphony’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
> library(Rsymphony)
