App won't deploy with GitHub version of a package but works ok with CRAN

[Peter Ellis]

Originally I raised this as an issue at https://github.com/mtennekes/treemap/issues/23 but the problem seems to be related to how deployApp() installs packages.  An app using the {treemap} package will deploy ok if the client system has CRAN's version of {treemap}, but not if it has GitHub's.  In the snippet below, the 01_hello app has been modified just by adding the line

library(treemap)

library(shiny) 
library(shinyapps) 
library(devtools) 

install.packages("treemap") # ie from cran 
# this works fine: 
deployApp("C:/Users/Peter Ellis/Documents/R/win-library/3.1/shiny/examples/01_hello", account = "ellisp") 

install_github("mtennekes/treemap/pkg") # ie from GitHub, latest built dev version 
runApp("C:/Users/Peter Ellis/Documents/R/win-library/3.1/shiny/examples/01_hello") # still works locally 
# but this no longer works: 
deployApp("C:/Users/Peter Ellis/Documents/R/win-library/3.1/shiny/examples/01_hello", account = "ellisp")

Peter,

Are you seeing a particular error when you try to deploy the github version?

Thanks Andy.  The log finishes with this error pasted below.  I've attached a fuller log.
