Trying to install RMySQL on 64-bit Windows 7.Using R-2.14.2 with Rtools214 and MySQL Server 5.5. Read through several step-by-steps of RMySQL source installation.

RS-DBI.c:1:0: sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in make: [RS-DBI.o] Error 1* ERROR: compilation failed for package 'RMySQL' ... I'm guessing my problem lies in the '64-bit mode...' message, but I'm not sure. Thoughts?
A. You failed to follow the instructions in 'R Installation and Administration' about how to set your toolchain: it would be easier to upgrade to Rtools215, for which R 2.14.2 is configured by default (but can be told how to use Rtools214).
B. Is libmysql.dll 32- or 64-bit? Both variants exist, and you need to match the version of R you use.
