[R] Install RMySQL with R 2.4.0

[Joe W. Byers]

I am having trouble as well with the new version of R 2.4.  I downloaded 
the gz file from the cran website,  followed the instructions in the 
README.win file and installed RMySQL.  I have mysql installed under 
c:\mysql not the program files directory which is the only difference.

I get the following error when I attempt to connect to the MySQL Db
 > ## open a connection to a MySQL database
 > con <- dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL"),host='localhost',
+ username='XXXX',dbname = 'StorageSims');
Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable)  :
         unable to find an inherited method for function "dbConnect", 
for signature "MySQLDriver"
 >

Any help will be appreciated.  I would like to note that there are no 
problems with RMySQL on my linux system, only on XP's.

Thank you
Joe
