R help - Nov 2003 - RMySQL for Windows

Hi,

I have been using RMySQL under linux.  Does anybody know what is
involved in compiling it for Windows?  There is not a binary version
available.

Thanks,
Arend

There are instructions in the source code, and from the ReadMe on the 
Windows area of CRAN:

  RMySQL is available at http://stat.bell-labs.com/RS-DBI/download,
  provided by its maintainer, David A. James.

One caveat: binary versions of RMySQL have proved sensitive to the exact 
version of MySQL installed, so it is better to build from the sources on 
your own machine (if you can).

Hi all,

I have been reviewing previous messages about installing RMySQL under
windows.  My configuration is WinXP, MySQL 4.0.14-max-debug and R
1.8.0.  I have been able install RMySQL.  However, I do have a question:

When I type
>library(RMySQL)
I get the following:

    Warning message: 
    DLL attempted to change FPU control word from 8001f to 9001f 

Based on previous messages I have concluded that this should not cause
me problems.

Is this correct ?

Thanks for all your help,
Arend
