Compilation failed for package 'RMongo' on

Question

I am having trouble trying to install RMongo version 0.1.0. My code is as follows:

library(devtools)
install_github("tc/RMongo")

The system output that I'm getting is:

Downloading GitHub repo tc/RMongo@master
Installing RMongo
"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-32~1.1/bin/x64/R" --no-site-file --no-environ --no-save  \
  --no-restore CMD INSTALL  \
  "C:/XX/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpSGqhcG/devtools23d44de847da/tc-RMongo-9b6d1b1"  \
  --library="C:/XX/Documents/R/win-library/3.2" --install-tests 

* installing *source* package 'RMongo' ...
** libs

*** arch - i386
no DLL was created
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'RMongo'
* removing 'C:/XX/Documents/R/win-library/3.2/RMongo'
Error: Command failed (1)

I cannot use the install package method in R because I require the latest version of RMongo to support Mongo 3.0

Can't figure out why it does not work. Have tried to reinstall Rtools and devtools but the error still remains

Visit the link: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RMongo/index.html

From the downloads section, download the RMongo binaries as per your system requirments.

After you finish downloading the required binaries type the command below:

install.packages("PATH_TO_DOWNLOADED_FILE", repos = NULL, type="source")
