Actually there is an RMYSQL windows binary in the CRAN Extras area but it crashes on my XP machine when I try to use it. I have had more luck with the Windows binary in the Bioconductor Extras area (which seems to work except for some warnings that you can ignore):
http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/2.0/extra/bin/windows/contrib/2.5/RMySQL_0.6-0.zip and also another private build by one user that works without the warnings. Note that there is an r-sig-db list for this type of question: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-db On 8/7/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to install RMySql-.0.6.0 to work with WinXP, MySQL 5 and R 2.51. > there is no binary for windows on cran-r, so i grabbed RMySql-0.6.0.tar.gz > and tried to compile it. > > I get the following error: > * checking for file 'RMySQL/DESCRIPTION' ...
