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. It seems to have
installed
without a problem, but when I enter:
library(RMySQL)
R tells me:
Error in utils::readRegistry("SOFTWARE\\MySQL AB", hive =
"HLM", maxdepth 2) :
Registry key 'SOFTWARE\MySQL AB' not found
Error : .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'RMySQL'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'RMySQL'
Moreover,
If I try to get information about a function (fisher exact test, for
example) by typing:
?fisher.test
R tells me:
Error in shell.exec(url) :
access to 'http://127.0.0.1:12625/library/stats/html/fisher.test.html'
denied
If I manually open, in a web browser, the html file whose address is given,
I can see and read the document.
I'm wondering whether there is some kind of problem with the registry (any
ideas at all welcome).
Thanks,
Jon

(If less than 2.10.1, install that and try again.) Do you have MySQL installed on that machine? (If not, install it.) Which Windows version are you using? Are you able to open other URLs from R, e.g. does browseURL("http://www.r-project.org") work? Duncan Murdoch> > I can't seem to load the "RMySQL" function.

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 <jonsleepy@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.
