Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘ROracle’ These will not be installed

Question

I tried to install ROracle package in R. But unable to install the package. It is giving me the following error:

Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘ROracle’ These will not be installed

Any idea how to fix it?

Did you specify install from source? See answers at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1474081/how-do-i-install-an-r-package-from-source — Tom Evans, Jul 12 '16 at 12:05
Thanks @ Tom Evans, I even followed that post but it is also not installing the package. — Syam Danda, Jul 12 '16 at 12:12
still giving me the same error message: Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘ROracle’ These will not be installed — Syam Danda, Jul 12 '16 at 12:20
1. Make sure RTools is installed correctly. 2. `install.packages("ROracle", type = "source")`. — nrussell, Jul 12 '16 at 15:27
Thanks @nrussell, The mistake is with respective to the improper environment variable setup. Now I was able to fix this issue. — Syam Danda, Jul 13 '16 at 05:30

When I attempted to install the ROracle package from CRAN, I received the same error message. To fix it, I found that I needed to install the ROracle package located on the Oracle.com website. You'll need to sign up a free account first, and then you can find it by searching for "ROracle".

This package can be downloaded and installed error-free. It worked perfectly for me.
