Re: [R] libz library missing while installing RMySQL
Thanks for the advice! For those interested in what the final solution was to installing RMySQL (R 2.1.0, Linux SuSE 9.3): The following packages were not installed: php4-mysql php5-mysql php5-mysqli mysql-devel at least one of them was obviously missing On Thursday 28 April 2005 10:37, you wrote: Sebastian, I'm really not an expert with database systems, and I don't have SuSE (but Fedora), so I may be unable to help you. However, I just had a look at the issue, and I could install RMySQL in R 2.1.0 in Fedora. Here some points that I noticed: - You need package R package DBI which must be installed first. - You also need devel packages of mysql. I don't know how SuSE handles packaging libraries, and I don't know what you have already. However, I needed these mysql pieces to install RMySQL: mysql-devel-3.23.58-16.FC3.1 mysql-server-3.23.58-16.FC3.1 mysql-3.23.58-16.FC3.1 These in turn seem to need perl libraries: perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9003-5 perl-DBI-1.40-5 It seems that in some systems the piece that is called mysql in FC may be called mysql-client. I don't know how things are done in SuSE and what you have there, but I hope you find some useful information. However, since it installs smoothly in my FC, I can't reproduce your problems. Perhaps INSTALL and README files in RMySQL/inst directory of the source will tell you something more useful. best wishes, jari oksanen -- Sebastian Leuzinger Institute of Botany, University of Basel Schnbeinstr. 6 CH-4056 Basel ph0041 (0) 61 2673511 fax 0041 (0) 61 2673504 email [EMAIL PROTECTED] web http://pages.unibas.ch/botschoen/leuzinger __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
[R] libz library missing while installing RMySQL
Hello Trying to install the MySQL package, I get the following error. The help archive contains something on this issue but did not help. I work on linux suse 9.3 Configuration error: Could not locate the library libz required by MySQL. The library libz however is not on any mirrors I checked.

Re: [R] libz library missing while installing RMySQL
Thanks Jari although these libraries are installed now, I get the following message: Configuration error: could not find the MySQL installation include and/or library directories. Manually specify the location of the MySQL libraries and the header files and re-run R CMD INSTALL. Somebody has had this problem before but that did not help me. Can somebody give me a hint?

Sebastian, You made some R core people very happy: they have tried very hard to explain that there is a difference between a *library* and a *package*, and that this difference really matters. This seems to be the first case on R-News when this distinction really seems to matter: you need a library. I don't know about SuSE (or with some other really weird capitalization), but in my system libz belongs to package zlib that you must install, and in my system you'd probably need zlib-devel as well (this is FC3). So they are system level libraries that come with SuSe instead of R packages. cheers, jari oksanen -- Sebastian Leuzinger Institute of Botany, University of Basel Schnbeinstr. 6 CH-4056 Basel ph0041 (0) 61 2673511 fax 0041 (0) 61 2673504 email [EMAIL PROTECTED] web http://pages.unibas.ch/botschoen/leuzinger __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
