[R-sig-DB] DBI:dbConnect () inherited method error for RMySQL v 0.5-11 driver

[Chris Cotsapas]

Dear list,

I've been getting the error below when trying to connect to a MySQL 
database (similar to this post from late last year: 
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-db/2006-October/000224.html)

I'm using R 2.4.1 on an x86_64 machine running Ubuntu/Dapper, RMySQL 
v0.5-11 and DBI v0.2-3.

I'm really not sure what to do with this: I've tried updating all mysql 
Ubuntu packages, adding dev packages etc, to no avail. The database 
itself is functional and accessible.

I've also created a ~/.my.cnf file with appropriate entries, to no avail.

Any hints or comments most welcome.

Thanks

Chris
