R rtools failed to install(build) old archived mongolite_1.6.tar.gz

[yuanqingye]

I want to install mongodb in R. Since our production system is using old mongodb, the new R mongolite version couldn't get connect. So I decide to install the old version from archive.

However, my win10 using R 4.2.1 faced 1 critical errors

I already downloaded archived package mongolite_1.6.tar.gz from (https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/mongolite/)

I run the command: (the first argument need to be replaced by your downloaded location of file)

install.packages("~/mongolite_1.6.tar.gz", repos = NULL) Then I got error message:
