All, I'm having a problem connecting to an MS SQL Database via RODBC on OS X. If I try to connect through the GUI using chan <- odbcConnect("drewdb", uid="user", pwd ="pwd") it simply crashes R with the following crash report: Date/Time: 2005-03-28 12:30:48 -0600 OS Version: 10.3.8 (Build 7U16) Report Version: 2 Command: R Path: /Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R Version: 1.01 (1.01) PID: 507 Thread: 0 Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x000001fc However, if I try it through an xterm (command line), I get the following: Warning messages: 1: [RODBC] ERROR: state IM004, code 0, message [iODBC][Driver Manager]Driver's SQLAllocEnv() failed 2: ODBC connection failed in: odbcDriverConnect(st, case = case, believeNRows = believeNRows) I'm reasonably sure the DSN is okay because I can use it to connect to the DB with other applications. Any suggestions? -Drew Specific Info: Machine Model: PowerBook5,6 CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.2) Number Of CPUs: 1 CPU Speed: 1.67 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 167 MHz System Version: Mac OS X 10.3.8 (7U16) Kernel Version: Darwin 7.8.0 Boot Volume: Macintosh HD R : Copyright 2004, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.0.1 (2004-11-15), ISBN 3-900051-07-0
