Hi, I have the same problem and have attempted to look through the list and find a reply with the answer but could not seem to find one.
My problem seems slightly more confusing. If I and running R as root, the following works > library(RMySQL) > m <- dbDriver("MySQL") > con <- > dbConnect(m,host="acomputer",dbname="atable",user="au_ser",password="a_password") > rs <- dbSendQuery(con,statement="select * from flock") > data <- fetch(rs,n=-1) If I run the same code as a normal user the following line fails with a segmentation fault con <- dbConnect(m,host="acomputer",dbname="atable",user="au_ser",password="a_password") I have the following relevant software installed MySql 3.23.32 R-1.7.0 RMySQL 0.5.2 Redhat 7.0 ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
