[R-sig-DB] R, RMySQL and OSX

[Louis Springer]

In reference to a meesage from "jhorn at bu.edu", installation and  
build problems on OSX Tiger for R and RMySQL, "RMySQL Error Messages,  
crashing R" (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2006-February/ 
002686.html), was Jason ever able to resolve the issues? I'm not  
getting any of the compile issues referred to, but am unable to  
connect, getting:

RS-DBI driver: (could not connect xxx using localhost on dbname "dbname"

My R version is R for Mac OS X Aqua GUI, 1.16 (3198), R 2.3.1 Framework
RMySQL version RMySQL_0.5-7
MySQL version mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.13-rc, for apple- 
darwin8.2.0 (powerpc) using readline 5.0

Thanks,
Lou
