Thanks for reply, Simon. This is what I got when I executed the 'ranlib' command you suggested.
ranlib: file: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(my_pthread.o) has no symbols ranlib: file: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(my_thr_init.o) has no symbols ranlib: file: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(thr_mutex.o) has no symbols ranlib: file: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(my_port.o) has no symbols ranlib: file: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(strmov.o) has no symbols ranlib: file: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(bcmp.o) has no symbols ranlib: file: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(bmove.o) has no symbols ranlib: file: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(longlong2str.o) has no symbols ranlib: file: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(strtoull.o) has no symbols ranlib: file: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(strtoll.o) has no symbols ranlib: file: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(viossl.o) has no symbols ranlib: file: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a (viosslfactories.o) has no symbols I subsequently reinstalled the entire MySQL binary (which includes the C API). However, I am still getting the same error. Is it possible that MySQL is distributing a corrupted library with their latest product? What would I do differently if I were to install MySQL from source? The one thing that truly perplexes me is why the package RMySQL worked perfectly under the prior version of R and only stopped working when I upgraded to the latest version of R (problem occurred before I upgraded MySQL) On Oct 26, 2005, at 10:43 PM, Simon Urbanek wrote: > Franklin, > > On Oct 27, 2005, at 12:59 AM, Parlamis Franklin wrote: > > >> ld: truncated or malformed archive: /usr/local/mysql/lib/ >> libmysqlclient.a (ranlib structures in table of contents extends past >> the end of the table of contents, can't load from it) >> >> > > As the compiler tells you your libmysqlclient is damaged.
