[R] Loading the stupid dataset--help!!!

2012-05-19 Thread SteveQ
I am using the following: 
library(RODBC)
chan = odbcConnectExcel(rats-lda)
rats.lda = sqlFetch(chan, data)
close(chan) 

And getting the following error message:
 library(RODBC)
Error in library(RODBC) : there is no package called ‘RODBC’
 chan = odbcConnectExcel(rats-lda)
Error: could not find function odbcConnectExcel
 rats.lda = sqlFetch(chan, data)
Error: could not find function sqlFetch
 close(chan) 



I am sure there is a simple answer to this.  Thanks.

The above error message indicates that the ROBDC package is not
installed.  Have you done an install.packages(ROBDC)?


chan = odbcConnectExcel(rats-lda)

Error: could not find function odbcConnectExcel

rats.lda = sqlFetch(chan, data)

Error: could not find function sqlFetch

close(chan)

?install.packages
This functionality may also be available from a menu in an R GUI, e.g.
on WIndows. But as you failed to provide your system details -- as
requested by the posting guide -- we can't say.

HOWEVER ... something appears to be rotten in Denmark (with apologies
to Peter D.). IIRC, RODBC is part of the standard library that should
be automatically installed when you install R. If so, then why isn't
it there? How did you install R? Do you have access to your library
directories where RODBC should reside?  What other packages do you
show in your session? If you post the results of sessionInfo(),
someone wiser than I may be able to help you if install.packages()
does not suffice.

I don't think it's part of the standard install -- I certainly didn't
get it with Simon's [Mac] CRAN build and when I did download it it's
marked with priority NA  -- so no need to worry there.

Best,

Michael
