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, it was compiled with MySQL 5.5.15 but it seems to work great with MySQL 5.6.12 as well!

I'm sorry if this is an ignorant question, but how do we install the binary package? Thank you
