R help - Nov 2010 - looking for the RMySQL package for R 2.12.0 under XP

Hello,

I convinced our new Ph student to work with R and I managed to convince the
guy in charge of the computer networks to install R 2.12.0 (we haven't the
admin rights).

I wanted to install on his computer the same packages I use (but I have R
2.11) and especially RMySQL.

Problem : there is no more RMySQL package in the list pf the packages.
I've tried to install my version but it is not compatible.

I saw on a website a possible solution using rtools but it was very unclear
to me (I'm only an end-user and French ...) and with no admin rights, I
think I won't be able to follow the proposed procedure. 

Do you know where I can find a zip file of the RMySQL package for R 2.12 ?

Thanks in advance,
Ptit Bleu.

PS : everybody around me is using matlab. If I say that I have a problem to
connect R to MySQL, I will have to move to matlab. So please, help !!! :-)

You need compile it from source code.

Hello:


       That package needs to be compiled from source on the computer you 
are using.  Instructions for doing so can be found at 
"http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/RMySQL".


       I'm not sure of all the issues, but I believe it needs to be 
configured to the specific version of MySQL as well as the version of 
R.  I just upgraded to R 2.12.0, and now I need to repeat that process 
myself.


       If this does not answer your questions, I suggest you subscribe 
to "R-sig-DB" and post your question there.  They don't have much 
traffic and may be more responsive to questions like this.


       Hope this helps.
       Spencer
