Hi all, I'm looking for a way to install the RMySQL-package into my Windows-version of R (1.8.1). I did successfully install this package into my Linux-version of R (RedHat9), but now I want to do this in my Windows-version too. How to?

RMySQL for R1.8.1 on Windows

Where is the problem? It installs from the sources under Windows too, and even comes with notes for Windows. Please consult the rw-FAQ for how to install packages. We have provided binary builds in the past (and David James may still do so), but discovered that there was little tolerance for version mismatches, of both R and MySQL. So building from the sources is better,

Hi, you have to install RMySQL-0.5.3 from source with Rcmd INSTALL RMySQL*.tgz but before this works you have to reimp the lib/opt/libmysql.lib You find reimp in Mingw Installation. hope this helps, regards,christian Am Donnerstag, 29. Januar 2004 17:00 schrieb Hoeven, Maarten van der:

Let me add that http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.8/ReadMe tells us: "Although the packages RMySQL, ROracle, and snow pass make check, it seems to be dangerous to distribute them: I do not have the software available these packages depend on. RMySQL is available at http://stat.bell-labs.com/RS-DBI/download, provided by its maintainer, David A. James." Uwe Ligges > but discovered that there was little tolerance for version
