In general, I agree ...of course. However, I have a similar experience even
without warnings:

Segmentation fault
The actual dbname has been replaced by "xxxx", but it does not matter
what I write there; the outcome is the same. Also, changing the host="tango"
to host="localhost" or to the full computer name makes no difference.
The environment is as follows: _
platform i686-pc-linux-gnu
arch i686
os linux-gnu
system i686, linux-gnu
status
major 1
minor 6.1
year 2002
month 11
day 01
language R
DBI version 0.1-4
RMySQL version 0.5-0
[tango:aa:~/SW] mysql --version
mysql Ver 11.16 Distrib 3.23.49, for pc-linux-gnu (i686)
The fanny thing is that my students can connect to my computer and use
the database from the computer lab (with R 1.6.1 for Windows) without problems!
