Devtools::build() fails on test template package -- missing 'c_callr_exec'?

I'm working thorough Hadley's package book (using Rstudio 1.1.383) and cannot build a simple package - just the default template of a new package created via the wizard.

Both devtools::build() or using the menu to "Build Source Package" both result in the error:

Error in process_initialize(self, private, command, args, stdout, stderr,  : 
  object 'c_callr_exec' not found

Installing seems to work fine i.e. the function hello() works. Am I missing something obvious?

You seem to be using the development version of devtools. Please make sure you have the latest versions of callr as well. You may need to install callr and devtools in a fresh session to ensure they install properly.

Indeed I am using the development version--like I said, I'm working through the book, and blindly following instructions :wink:
Thanks Jim, the CRAN version of course works fine!
