There likely has been some change in the location of the dll's in
various versions of MySQL.  See:

Sorry for not taking care of this... If anyone would like to take over
maintainership of RMySQL I'm sure the R community would greatly appreciate
it. I just don't have the time these days.

The error message says it can't find a particular file.  You may have
an incomplete installation or perhaps in your distribution the file is
not in the expected place.  First look for it:

cd %MYSQL_HOME%
dir/s/b libmySQL.dll

If its missing then there is a problem with your installation of MySQL.

If its in a different location than expected copy it to the expected
location. Do that as Administrator:

copy ...wherever...\libmySQL.dll %MYSQL_HOME%\bin

If it happens again with some other file then copy it too.

MYSQL_HOME is incorrect.  Windows uses single backslashes -- not double.

(R uses double backslash within "..." to produce a single backsloash
but that step was done in Windows console and not in R.)

Re: [R] RMySQL install on windows

2012-11-14 Thread sbarandiaran
Uwe, now I've tried these steps, following RMySQL installation instructions
(http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RMySQL/INSTALL):

1. Download the RMySQL_0.9.tar.gz file to the folder C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.15.1\bin\x64
2. Open a Windows command line, and change directory to that folder
3. Enter the following commands: 
  set MYSQL_HOME=C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.5
  R CMD INSTALL RMySQL_0.9.tar.gz

The output ends with:
"gcc.exe: error:  C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5/bin/libmySQL.dll:
No such file or directory
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'RMySQL'
* removing 'C:/Users/Acer/Documents/R/win-library/2.15/RMySQL' "

The problem seems to be that it points to an incorrect folder to find the
file 'libmySQL.dll' . This file is located at  'C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL
Server 5.5/lib'

'those "cygwin warnings"' tell you how to turn them off.



When I try to load the package: "library(RMySQL)" R tells that "there is no
package called 'RMySQL')


Then the installation step failed and you have to report the output your 
got if you want to get any help.

My R version is 2.15.1 (x64),  on Windows 7 (64-bit).
I have installed MySQL Server 5.5 (64-bit), and MySQL Connector C 6.0.2

How could you solve those warnings you've mentioned?

Thanks, Greg.   I got a couple of warnings during the build, but I can 
at least load the library.  Now, I'll to to learn to use it


I had downloaded the 64-bit MySQL engine.  The seemingly successful

I guess not unexpectedly I get the from R (i386)
