I am having trouble loading RMySQL after installing it. I have looked
at archived r-help files and it seems many people have had issues, but I
didn't find my specific issue. I also went to the webpage at Vanderbilt
(http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/RMySQL) and followed the
instructions as best I understood them:
- I created a file called Renviron.site under "etc" in the R
folder. In it, I tried to put a pointer to where MySQL is.
I tried:
- MYSQL_HOME=C:/PROGRA~1/MySQL/MYSQL~Server~5.5/
- MYSQL_HOME=C:/PROGRA~1/MySQL/MYSQLS~5.5/bin
(which are guesses at how this should be written from the
example on the webpage.)
- MYSQL_HOME=C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.5
(the actual location; n.b. adding "\bin" yields the
location of the mysql.exe file)
- I then re-start R and attempt to load the package.
- I get the following error messages:
Loading required package: DBI
Error : MYSQL_HOME was set but does not point to a directory
Error : .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'RMySQL'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'RMySQL'
Does anyone know how to write this so that it does point to the
directory properly?Or, what else might be the problem?
Thanks,
Jeff
PS, I am running windows XP media edition and R 2.10.1, if that matters.
