[R] Install RMySQL with R 2.4.0

All,
After staring at this error message for an hour or so yesterday and this
morning. I decided to try something else. Low and behold trying to
build the package in cygwin causes R to try and build under linux/unix
not windows. I went to the command prompt and was able to build the
package.
Download the RMySQL...tar.gz file and unzip somewhere like drive:/projects
Several notes
1. make sure you have mysql directories on your computer somewhere with
the subdirs of include, bin, and lib. You can just copy these from
you actual server unless you want to install them. I used d:/mysql/...
2. Modify configure.win in RMySQL and Makevars.win ins RMySQL/src to
have the mysql directories from (1)
3. Copy and paste this script to a batch file and execute
**************
Rem build without --docs=normal tries to build chm help on windows this
bombs
Rem if a zip program not installed the zip file will not be built
Rem go find the temp directory where R built the package and copy to
../R/library
Rem temp directory will look something like C:\Temp\Rinst32098657\RMySQL
Rem if R bin directory in the path this will run otherwise add the
drive:\Dir1\R\bin to the command
Rcmd build --binary \projects\RMySQL --docs=normal
***********************
4. Note that I have --docs=normal in the command line. This is needed to
get the package built. Windows packages now default to chm files and
RMySQL does not have any windows chm help files. All txt, html, and
latex help are built with this option.
5. I am not sure where the RMySQL...zip file is stored, I think in
...R\Bin. I just copied the files from the temp\RinstXXXXXX\to the
...\R\library to install.
This may or may not work for you, it did for me.
I will try and update my website www.cba.utulsa.edu/byersj Research and
Analytics section to include a link to the RMySQL zip file for others to
download.
Good Luck
Joe
