Hello:
That package needs to be compiled from source on the computer you
are using. Instructions for doing so can be found at
"http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/RMySQL";.
I'm not sure of all the issues, but I believe it needs to be
configured to the specific version of MySQL as well as the version of
R. I just upgraded to R 2.12.0, and now I need to repeat that process
myself.
If this does not answer your questions, I suggest you subscribe
to "R-sig-DB" and post your question there. They don't have much
traffic and may be more responsive to questions like this.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I convinced our new Ph student to work with R and I managed to convince the
guy in charge of the computer networks to install R 2.12.0 (we haven't the
admin rights).
I wanted to install on his computer the same packages I use (but I have R
2.11) and especially RMySQL.
Problem : there is no more RMySQL package in the list pf the packages.
I've tried to install my version but it is not compatible.
I saw on a website a possible solution using rtools but it was very unclear
to me (I'm only an end-user and French ...) and with no admin rights, I
think I won't be able to follow the proposed procedure.
Do you know where I can find a zip file of the RMySQL package for R 2.12 ?
Thanks in advance,
Ptit Bleu.
PS : everybody around me is using matlab. If I say that I have a problem to
connect R to MySQL, I will have to move to matlab. So please, help !!! :-)
