  ^^^ --- this is not a good idea - it won't work, because the 64-bit  
MySQL package doesn't contain 32-bit client libraries. You will have  
to get the 32-bit version instead (or use 64-bit version of R  
instead, but then you lose the GUI, Quartz etc.).

In theory 32-bit library could potentially work with 64-bit server as  
they communicate over sockets, but I didn't test it myself, so I  
don't know if that's true in practice.

Cheers,
Simon
