installing RMySQL gives error RS-MySQL.h:32:19: fatal error: mysql.h: No such file

Question

I tried to install the RMySQL-library (R version 2.14.2, WinXP on 32bit) but got the following error message:

install.packages(\"D:/R/library/RMySQL_0.9-3.ta         


        

Answer 1

You will never get a RMySQL precompiled binary package for Windows, because before installing it checks for validity of the MySQL path & other include files.
