Phil, The version of RMySQL you forwarded me installed, though I got the following message:
> library(RMySQL) Warning message: package 'RMySQL' was built under R version c(2, 4, 0) and help will not work correctly Please re-install it That being said, I am getting farther along than I did with the version I installed from the server via install.packages("RMySQL"), so perhaps I'll be alright with the older version.

To: Jonathan <jonsle...@gmail.com> Jonathon - When my students have had this problem, I've pointed them to an earlier version of the package, which seems to work: http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/classes/s133/RMySQL_0.5-11.zip Download the file, and choose Packages -> Install Packages from Local Zip File. Hope this helps. - Phil Spector Statistical Computing Facility Department of Statistics UC Berkeley spec...@stat.berkeley.edu On Tue, 26 Jan 2010, Jonathan wrote: Hi All, > My R installation is acting strangely and I'm hoping somebody might have > an idea what's going on: > > I can't seem to load the "RMySQL" function.
