RMySQL installation issue with Mysql 5.5

问题

I'm quite new to R, but I've some experience in programming. I'm trying to install RMySQL on Windows 7 with MySQL Workbench 5.2 and I keep on getting the same errors. I've already checked different procedures, but keep on getting stuck:

MySQL is up and running, I have moved libmysql.lib and libmysql.dll, but I keep on getting the following errors. I guess I cannot see the problem for what it really is. Do you have any suggestion?

install.packages("RMySQL", type="source")

This is all using R version 2.13.2.

I recently installed RMySQL on WinXP 32-bit and had some issues as well. I have documented the issues I had and solutions I found at the following link

I also followed up with the package maintainer a few days ago. I haven't received a response yet. Hopefully we can better document the process. It seems your problem may be solved by issuing the r statement:

Sys.setenv(“MYSQL_HOME”=”C:/PROGRA~1/MySQL/MYSQLS~1.5″)

before installing RMySQL.
