I have attempted to install Psychtoolbox for Octave on Windows 10, per the installation instructions. Before the installation completes, I get this warning:
Screen() failed to work for some reason:
Check the troubleshooting instructions on our Wiki (Download section
and FAQ section, maybe also the Bugs section).
You may need to delete (or rename) the following DLL files in your Octave-4.4.1 installations
bin folder to make this work, then restart Octave:
C:\Octave\4.4.1\bin\libglib-2.0.0.dll
C:\Octave\4.4.1\bin\libgmodule-2.0.0.dll
C:\Octave\4.4.1\bin\opengl32.dll
Once you manage to fix the problem (simply type 'AssertOpenGL' to verify
that stuff works now), you do not need to run the installation routine again,
but can start working immediately.
I had already deleted the named DLL files, which I confirmed. I then ran AssertOpenGL and received this error:
Last Error: could not find library or dependencies: D:\Coding\PTB\Psychtoolbox\PsychBasic\Octave4WindowsFiles64\Screen.mex
Simply calling Screen directly gives this error:
error: library open failed: D:\Coding\PTB\Psychtoolbox\PsychBasic\Octave4WindowsFiles64\Screen.mex
However, the directory containing Screen.mex is at the very top of my path:
Octave's search path contains the following directories:
.
D:\Coding\PTB\Psychtoolbox\PsychBasic\Octave4WindowsFiles64
D:\Coding\PTB\Psychtoolbox
<etc>
As such, the solution to this similar question is of no use. What might I be able to do to correctly configure PTB on Octave?
What version of gstreamer are you using? I had a similar problem recently and fixed it by installing gstreamer 1.14.4. The latest version of gstreamer will not work, nor will versions earlier than 1.14.4.
I have downloaded the mysql-5.6.30.tar.gz source file, extracted and I'm using the following CMAKE command:
cmake /mysql-5.6.30 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/mysql -DWITH_CHARSET=CP1251=1
-DENABLE_THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT=1 -DMAX_INDEXES=250 -DDOWNLOAD_BOOST=1
-DWITH_BOOST=%HOME/mysqlboost -DENABLE_DOWNLOADS=1
Most of that is normal, apart from the MAX_INDEXES value of 250. The client has very specific requirements for this, and is the reason I am trying to compile this from source (there doesn't appear to be a way to change this value once MySQL is installed, must be done at compile).
CMake runs through the compilation (after i fixed various dependencies being missing and such), but at the end states:
-- Generating done
CMake Warning:
Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
CMAKE_CC_COMPILER
DOWNLOAD_BOOST
ENABLE_THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT
MAX_INDEXES
WITH_BOOST
WITH_CHARSET
-- Build files have been written to: /mysql-5.6.30
This is a bit of an issue, as I specifically needed MAX_INDEXES to be written to the build files so I can install MySQL with it. Can anyone tell me A) Why is it ignoring every single variable I passed to it? and/or B) Is there any other way to enforce MAX_INDEXES (to at least 200) in a MySQL Installation. If it helps, it can be 5.6 or 5.7.
Thanks.
You can solve the MAX_INDEXES and ENABLE_THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT problem with this from the MySQL source directory (tested):
MY_FLAGS="DMAX_INDEXES=256 -DENABLE_THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT"
cmake -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="$MY_FLAGS" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="$MY_FLAGS" .
The reason it ignored your variables was because they were not Cmake variables, but rather macros referenced by the source of MySQL (some).
The variables understood by Cmake are documented at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/source-configuration-options.html
For the internal macros you have to search in the MySQL source.
According to mysql documentation on source configuration options, the configuration options you listed are eithes supported from a certain mysql v5.7 version or are not even listed on that page, meaning they are not mysql specific.
Compile a mysql v5.7.1 or higher from source to be able to set max_indexes config option.
I tried building recutils version 1.7 downloaded from the home page, using the standard configure, make, sudo make install sequence, but when trying to run the resulting binaries. like recinf, I get the error:
recinf: error while loading shared libraries: librec.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Does this mean I made a mistake during the build or is the package itself in error?
As Etan Reisner said the problem was that the shared object libraries were installed but not loaded into the cache, hence the need to run ldconfig. After running
sudo ldconfig
the binaries ran properly. If I had looked in /usr/local/lib, I would have seen the libs there.
I can't figure out why my RMySQL package won't install - here's what I get:
> install.packages('RMySQL',type='source')

Warning message:

I don't think it's a problem with the MySQL install, as the right values seem to be in the registry:

MYSQL_HOME "C:/PROGRA~1/MySQL/MYSQLS~1.1/"
> readRegistry("SOFTWARE\\MySQL AB", hive="HLM", maxdepth=2)

Puzzled. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The basic process is described here, but there are several hints, So I will describe the whole solution (please change the R version and paths if needed):
Install latest RTools from here
install MySQL or header and library files of mysql
create or edit file C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\etc\Renviron.site and add line like MYSQL_HOME=C:/mysql (path to your mysql files)
copy libmysql.lib from mysql/lib to mysql/lib/opt to meet dependencies.
copy libmysql.dll to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\bin or to windows/system32 directory.
run install.packages('RMySQL',type='source') and wait while compilation will end.
This worked for me on Windows 7 64 bit, so there should be no problems with 32 bit versions
Initialy posted here (similar question).
First I would try following the directions on this page: http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/RMySQL
Then, ensure that you actually have a MySQL client on your computer, not just the server itself. I've had a problem myself where I had to use an older binary for the client, but you can download these from mysql website.
I created a binary which might work for people:
http://kenahoo.blogspot.com/2011/09/rmysql-binary-for-windows-7.html
I basically followed all these directions, including the ones at the Vanderbilt page, but for one reason or another it doesn't always seem to work. Anyway, hope this might be helpful for people who have the same versions of stuff I used.
I was having this same problem on Windows 7 with R 2.12.1 x64 and resolved it by:
Changing the R directory in my PATH variable to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\bin\x64 (rather than just ...\R-2.12.1\bin).
Copying ...\MySQL Server 5.5\lib\libmysql.dll to ...\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\.
Running R CMD INSTALL RMySQL_0.7-5.tar.gz in cmd.exe (install.packages('RMySQL',type='source') in R still would not work).
I came across this step-by-step guide to install RMySQL under Windows7 64bit.
http://www.ahschulz.de/2013/07/23/installing-rmysql-under-windows/
The software I used are:
Windows 8 OS
R3.0.2 - 64bit
Rtools 3.1
MySQL Server Community Edition 5.6 - 64bit
Following the above guide (with screenshots provided), my installation and loading of the RMySQL package works.
Many thanks to Arne Hendrik Schulz!
As Marek said. There is no windows binary for this package. I had similar troubles on my Mac when I tried to install RPostgreSQL (because there's no binary for Mac) in the end I had to compile it on my own and modify several files.
For the MySQL part(if you don't know much about MySQL), you might want to use WAMP which is admittedly more than you need, but easy to install and to start and shut down.
For some compiling help you might be interested in Rtools
HTH
BTW: What kind of windows do you run (sry, if I missed it)
You however there is one additional requirement at present (with the MySQL server version 5.5 & R2.12.1) follow thehttp://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/RMySQL instructions at present as the locations of the libmySQL.dll differs to what is expected in the package.
i.e. for the 64bit compiling.
it expects the libmySQL.dll to be in "${MYSQL_HOME}"/bin/libmySQL.dll
so simply copy the dll over to the /bin dir and it will now compile.
for the 32bit compilling.
the libmySQL.lib is expected in "${MYSQL_HOME}"/lib/opt/libmysql.lib
again moving this should solve the problem.
Alternatively, if you don't want to or can't move these files. Then you can edit the source code files:
Makevars.win
Makevars.win32
Makevars.win64
appropriately pointing to /lib/libmysql.dll /lib/libmysql.lib
Add MySQL and RTools directory to the PATH!
Here is my PATH ; ~blah~;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin;c:\rtools\bin;C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin;
I was working for last 2 days on Installation of R with RMySQL package, finally got the solution for that, here are the steps to install RMySQL package:-
DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE FROM THE FOLLOWING LINKS:
*a. R2.13.2: Download R from http://cran.stat.sfu.ca/index.html
b. RTools 214: Download RTools from http://cran.cict.fr
c. RMySQL 0.8-0.tar.gz: Download RMySQL from
http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/main/RMySQL/RMySQL_0.8-0.tar.gz
d. MySQL Server 5.0: download it from http://dev.mysql.com
e. RSTUDIO (optional): download it from http://rstudio.org*
SET THE FOLLOWING ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
* a. MYSQL_HOME : <drive>/path to MySQL installation folder
e.g. MYSQL_HOME= C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\
b. R_HOME: <drive>/path to R installation
e.g. R_HOME=C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.2\
c. PATH: Modify path to accommodate the above variables. *
Be sure that the following paths areincluded in your Windows PATH variable:
\Rtools\2.14\bin
\Rtools\2.14\MinGW\bin
\Rtools\2.14\MinGW64\bin
CREATE FOLDER AND COPY FILES
a. OPT: Create a folder OPT under C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\lib and copy
MYSQLLIB.LIB the above path. Also copy libmysql.dll to \\R\R-2.14.0\bin\ (64 bit) Or \\R\R-2.14.0\bin\i386\ (32 bit) and to C:\Windows\System32.
b. Renviron.site: create or edit a file \\R\R-2.14.0\etc\Renviron.site and add a
line: MYSQL_HOME =”C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.5/”
NB: USE FORWARD SLASH AND DOUBLE QUOTES HERE
c. libMySQL.dll: Copy this file to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.2\bin\i386 as well as C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.13.2\bin
RUN COMMANDS
a. Install.Packages: Run R GUI by clicking on the R icon on desktop or from Start menu. Type
INSTALL.PACKAGES(“RMySQL”,type=”Sources”). This will download the required software from repositories.
b. Command Prompt: Copy the downloaded zip file (in step 4.a.) and paste it under R
installation folder. Go to start menu and open Command Prompt. Go to the R installation folder and type R CMD INSTALL RMySQL_0.8-0.tar.gz
*COMMANDS:
>library(RMySQL)
>drv = dbDriver("MySQL")
>con = dbConnect(drv,host="localhost",dbname="test",user="root",pass="root")
>album = dbGetQuery(con,statement="select * from t_master")
>album*
18 months later, new laptop, same problem. Returning to the scene of the crime - sorry January 2011 self; we're in the future, and this installation still isn't any fun.
Lessons learned:
-Updated RTools are essential. Get them.
-Are you seeing an error along the lines of .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'RMySQL', details? This seems to mean that there's a problem with your system environment variables.
In R, run
Sys.getenv('MYSQL_HOME')
If it spits back a path like
[1] "C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.6"
you're good. But if it gives you empty string, you need to set this.
These are all Windows 7 directions, but the process is pretty similar in XP, if memory serves.
1) Bring up System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables.
2) In the lower 'System Variables' pane, click 'New'.
3) Variable name is MYSQL_HOME and value is whatever the path is to your MySQL installation - mine was C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6
Newer versions of MySQL don't seem to create an environment variable on install - that and the lack of binaries for RMySQL explain why this questions has garnered 8,000 hits.
-Still stuck? Here are two additional in-depth writeups: 1, 2
Following worked for me in red hat linux
wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/RMySQL_0.9-3.tar.gz
sudo R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--with-mysql-inc=/usr/include/mysql' --configure-args='--with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib64/mysql' RMySQL_0.9-3.tar.gz
After installing from the RPM and then trying the Binary versions of APE (AJAX Push Engine) I am getting this error (on both versions) when I try to run the APE server:
[Module] Failed to load ../modules/libmod_spidermonkey.so [Invalid library] (libmysqlclient_r.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
I am using Fedora Linux, with MySql and apache installed. How can I get this libmysqlclient file? I have found this RPM: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/12471829/dir/fedora_4/com/mysqlclient15-5.0.67-1.fc4.remi.i386.rpm.html
And it says it includes this file, so I downloaded it to the box, attempted to install and tells me that it's already installed.
Any advice would help thanks!
Inside the ape.conf there's a module working directory which must be altered.
