RMySQL binary for Windows 7
I and my co-worker just had a heck of a time installing RMySQL on Windows 7. Finally worked it out. He & I did the same steps (we think) as each other, but mine succeeded & his failed. So I built a binary for him, and figured I might as well post it here too.
[ binary package ]
I used MySQL 5.5, with R 2.13.1. I think you still have to install MySQL separately in order for this package to work.

What might have caused this?
Error: package ‘RMySQL’ is not installed for 'arch=i386'
On 64-bit Windows 7
Kenahoo,
I have been spending a heck of time for this. For some reason, I did everything the instruction says, nothing worked. Kazoom! I was excited finding your binary momentarily believing this could save my time. So I got the binary installed. However, I get the same error as efg questioned,
Error: package ‘RMySQL’ is not installed for 'arch=i386'
On 32-bit Windows 7. What causes this?
Do you have any guess?
Amazing, thanks so much! Just a note, I had to put
MYSQL_HOME = C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.5
in Renviron.site in the
C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.2\etc
directory to have it work. The other notation from the vanderbilt site didn't seem to work.
Thanks this worked perfect!!!!! I too had a heck of a time.
