Dear Group,

I'm having lots of problems getting RMySQL on a 64 bit machine. I followed
all instructions available but couldn't get it working yet! Please help.
See the output below.

I did a install of RMySQL binary from the revolution cran source. It seems
to have unpacked fine but gives this error when I call RMySQL
Error: package 'RMySQL' is not installed for 'arch=x64'


I set this environment variable on the windows path
> Sys.getenv('MYSQL_HOME')
                               MYSQL_HOME 
"C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.0" 

>  install.packages('RMySQL',type='source')
