Problem installing odbc R package on Windows

Question

I want to install odbc R package but installation failed. Apparently, I miss codecvt, but I don't know wat it is and how to get it. Somebody can help me? Thanks

I obtained the following messages:

** package 'odbc' correctement décompressé et sommes MD5 vérifiées
** using staged installation
** libs

I finally found the solution by answering "No" to the question: "There is a binary available but source is later, do you want to install from source?"
