I am trying to install package biomaRt under windows XP. I fetched
appropriate versions oDBI and RMySQL from
http://stat.bell-labs.com/RS-DBI/download/ and (successfully: no
errors) installed them from local zip files. I then installed biomaRt
off
Bioconductor (1.6 release). However when I attempt to load the
library
, it gives me the following error:
> library(RMySQL)
Loading required package: DBI
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
unable to load shared library
'C:/PROGRA~1/R/rw2011/library/RMySQL/libs/RMySQL.dll':
LoadLibrary failure: The specified module could not be found.
Error in library(RMySQL) : .First.lib failed for 'RMySQL'
This particular file is present though in the appropriate directory:
C:\Program Files\R\rw2011\library\RMySQL\libs . Also R has no
troible
loading other packages with dll files located in equivalent
directories.
I am working under R.2.1.0 i.e. latest stable R version. I am
encountering the same problem on my desktop and my laptop. Any
help would be
appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Jane
