I don't know if this is the proper forum but here goes:

I'm trying to install the RMySQL library under Windows XP. The instructions say to use reimp to create an R-compatible MySQL library file "libmysql.dll" but when I try to run reimp I get the error "reimp: dlltool: No such file or directory"

Obviously something is missing or can't be found but I can't tell what from the message! I'm using fresh downloads of mingw utils and the RMySQL library.

And of course the library doesn't work in R - I get the message "Error in testRversion(descfile) : This package has not been installed properly
See the Note in ?library" when I try to load it.

Other libraries work fine. I realize this failure is due to the reimport failure.

Any suggestions?
Most easiest: Download and install the binary file from

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/RMySQL.zip

or any appropriate CRAN mirror.

And read the file README.windows which path has to be set in your environment variable PATH.
