Dear All,

I haven't seen any further comments about the problem that John Marsland 
first noted and that I also have:

 > library(DBI)
 > library(RMySQL)
Warning message:
DLL attempted to change FPU control word from 8001f to 9001f
 > mgr <- dbDriver("MySQL")
 > con <- dbConnect(mgr, host="localhost", dbname="marketing")

upon which R dies...

Dr. Mingw says:

Rgui.exe caused an Access Violation at location 77c13730 in module 
msvcrt.dll Reading from location 00000000.

Registers:

But then, again, I never did speak Chinese...

Thanks for your help.

Please do use an informative subject line.

The comment was that he was using code compiled against MySQL 4.0.x on
MySQL 3.2.x, and had not read the readmes.

A further comment is that you are asked *not* to report problems with 
pre-compiled packages on R-help, but to re-compile them yourself.
He had ignored that, and I suspect you have too.

It's a bad idea to ignore warnings!  This says that there's a problem
with the DLL that RMySQL is loading.  It is attempting to change the
rounding behaviour, and R is fighting back.  I don't know if that
would cause the error below, but it's a possibility.

            

      
      
      
    

        
...

I've cc'd this to the RMySQL maintainer David James; David J, if you
don't know what I'm talking about regarding rounding, I'd be happy to
expand on it.

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

            

      
      
      
    

        
<MySQLDriver:(958)>

            

      
      
      
    

        
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The actual dbname has been replaced by "xxxx", but it does not matter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

month    11               
day      01

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!
