Install error on mxnet

I am trying to install mxnet for use with R Studio on my Windows 10 laptop.

I used these instuctions:

install.packages("drat", repos="https://cran.rstudio.com")
drat:::addRepo("dmlc")
install.packages("mxnet")

But when I try this:

require(mxnet)

I get the error message:

Loading required package: mxnet
Error : object ‘combine_edges’ is not exported by 'namespace:DiagrammeR'

Here is the complete console:

> install.packages("drat", repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/bill_/Documents/R/win-library/3.3’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

SOLUTION FOUND PER AXEMAN'S SUGGESTION...

# version 0.9.0 of DiagrammeR won't work with mxnet at this time (20170104)
require(devtools)
install_version("DiagrammeR", version = "0.8.1", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")

With latest repo, you should be able to complete installation. They have removed references to "combine_edges" which was removed from latest DiagrammeR.
