Hello:
That package needs to be compiled from source on the computer you are using. Instructions for doing so can be found at "http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/RMySQL".
I'm not sure of all the issues, but I believe it needs to be configured to the specific version of MySQL as well as the version of R. I just upgraded to R 2.12.0, and now I need to repeat that process myself.
If this does not answer your questions, I suggest you subscribe to "R-sig-DB" and post your question there. They don't have much traffic and may be more responsive to questions like this.
Hope this helps. Spencer On 11/24/2010 7:48 AM, PtitBleu wrote:
Hello, I convinced our new Ph student to work with R and I managed to convince the guy in charge of the computer networks to install R 2.12.0 (we haven't the admin rights). I wanted to install on his computer the same packages I use (but I have R 2.11) and especially RMySQL. Problem : there is no more RMySQL package in the list pf the packages. I've tried to install my version but it is not compatible. I saw on a website a possible solution using rtools but it was very unclear to me (I'm only an end-user and French ...) and with no admin rights, I think I won't be able to follow the proposed procedure. Do you know where I can find a zip file of the RMySQL package for R 2.12 ? Thanks in advance, Ptit Bleu. PS : everybody around me is using matlab. If I say that I have a problem to connect R to MySQL, I will have to move to matlab. So please, help !!! :-)
