I am having trouble as well with the new version of R 2.4. I downloaded
the gz file from the cran website, followed the instructions in the
README.win file and installed RMySQL. I have mysql installed under
c:\mysql not the program files directory which is the only difference.

I get the following error when I attempt to connect to the MySQL Db
> ## open a connection to a MySQL database
> con <- dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL"),host='localhost',
+ username='XXXX',dbname = 'StorageSims');
Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable) :
     unable to find an inherited method for function "dbConnect",
for signature "MySQLDriver"
>

Any help will be appreciated. I would like to note that there are no
problems with RMySQL on my linux system, only on XP's.

Thank you
Joe
