I am fighting with the installation of RMysql on R2.13.0 on Windows 7 64bit. The version of my mysql 5.5, 64bit. Here are the steps, which led me to an error:
- Install RTools
- Set up proxy by calling:
setInternet2(TRUE)after FAQ@CRAN - Set MYSQL_HOME:
Sys.setenv("MYSQL_HOME"="C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.5\\")after this post on SO - Call in R Console:
install.packages("RMySQL", type="source")
After 4, I got the following error:
Installing package(s) into ‘C:/Users/Foo/Documents/R/win-library/2.13’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning: unable to access index for repository http://artfiles.org/cran/src/contrib
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package ‘RMySQL’ is not available (for R version 2.13.0)
Alternative to 4 is just to install the package: install.packages("RMySQL"). In this case I got:
Installing package(s) into ‘C:/Users/foo/Documents/R/win-library/2.13’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning: unable to access index for repository http://artfiles.org/cran/bin/windows/contrib/2.13
Warning message:

I am sure that I do not have problems with connection, because I can call R update. Could anybody help me to find out how I can access mysql db from R?
ps. Here is output from sessionInfo()
R version 2.13.0 (2011-04-13)

UPDATE: I connected directly to the internet without the proxy, now I got:
> install.packages("RMySQL", type="source")
