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. -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
