Hi. Could anyone help with the following?
>  library(RMySQL)
Loading required package: methods >  handle<-dbDriver("MySQL")
> con<-dbConnect(handle, dbname="echp",  host="tango",
user="aa")
Segmentation fault
Some  variants of the above cheme invariably end up with the same conclusion.
The "DBI"  and "RMySQL" packages have compiled correclty,
apparently,
when installed.  Here below are system data.
Best wishes,
