Version: 2.10
OS: WinXP
Submission from: (NULL) (85.225.178.169)
I made a brand new installation of R 2.10 in two machines and got the same
problem.
Machine 1 is Win XP on metal installation
machine 2 is virtual in VMWare running a hacky OS named Tiny XP in which any
Microsoft windows XP siftware always successfully is installed.
Operation 1. Add package RMySQL from Swedish CRAN.
Operation 2. library(RMySQL)
You can see the textual dump below. I need help to understand what is wrong.
Kind regards,
Kåre Jonsson
