I am having trouble as well with the new version of R 2.4. I downloaded the gz file from the cran website, followed the instructions in the README.win file and installed RMySQL. I have mysql installed under c:\mysql not the program files directory which is the only difference.
I get the following error when I attempt to connect to the MySQL Db > ## open a connection to a MySQL database > con <- dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL"),host='localhost', + username='XXXX',dbname = 'StorageSims'); Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable) : unable to find an inherited method for function "dbConnect", for signature "MySQLDriver" > Any help will be appreciated. I would like to note that there are no problems with RMySQL on my linux system, only on XP's.
