[R] RODBC

[Bill Szkotnicki]

Hello,

I have installed R2.5.0 from sources ( x86_64 )
and added the package RODBC
and now I am trying to connect to a mysql database
In windows R after installing the 3.51 driver
and creating the dsn by specifying server, user, and password
it is easy to connect with
channel <- odbcConnect("dsn")

Does anyone know what needs to be done to make this work from linux?

Thanks, Bill
