I've installed Rtools Rtools33.exe and my R version is version.string R version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31) please help to connect it with oracle 11g database

Oracle client is intalled in d drive which path is: D:\app\admin\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN

As @Nathan Dobie mentionned, instructions on the ROracle installation were helpful for me. I didn't need Rtools.exe but i had to add oracle instant client in the Environment variables.

Configuration in 64bits:

Under System variables, create OCI_LIB64 if it does not already exist. Set the value of OCI_LIB64 to D:\app\admin\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN (in your case)
Under System variables, edit PATH to include D:\app\admin\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN

And you will also need to create OCI_INC with the following value D:\app\admin\product\11.2.0\client_1\oci\include

Worked very well for me :-)
