Uptill now I have been using RMySQL on Windows and installed it by downloading the precompiled (binary) version of RMySQL for windows from http://stat.bell-labs.com/RS-DBI/download/. It works great. I have now upgraded R to 2.4.0 and would like to install RMySQL again, but the binary version (RMySQL 0.5-7 <https://djfpost.agrsci.dk/exchange/pso/Kladder/RE:%20%5BR-sig-DB%5D%20RSQLite%20and%20SQLite%203.3.x.EML/RMySQL/RMySQL_0.5-7.zip> ) downloaded from the above website does not work with R2.4.0 ( but it did work with R version 2.4.0 Under development (unstable) (2006-07-25 r38698)).
The S4 class system, which is used by RMySQL, went through heavy revision during the R 2.4.0 dev cycle. So I'm pretty sure that explains why the binary package worked with an R from late July and doesn't work with the release.
I have looked for a windows binary of RMySQL for R2.4.0 at the R/Bioconductor websites, but could not find any. Is there a windows binary avaliable somewhere?
I don't know of one, but we will see what we can do here to build one and make it available.
I hope that my questions are clear and that this is the right place to send these questions.
I think this is the right place. Thanks for the report. + seth
