I have been trying to use the sqldf package in R, but it simply stopped at loading required package "proto". Like this:

library(sqldf)
Loading required package: DBI
Loading required package: gsubfn
Loading required package: proto

I'm using R version 3.0.0 (2013-04-03) -- "Masked Marvel". Could someone please let me know what was missing here? Thanks a lot!

The next required package is `tcltk`, which [sometimes poses problems](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8219747/sqldf-package-in-r-querying-a-data-frame): try `options(gsubfn.engine = "R")` just before loading `sqldf`. – Vincent Zoonekynd Jun 15 '13 at 22:37

Read the troubleshooting section of the sqldf home page: http://sqldf.googlecode.com – G. Grothendieck Jun 16 '13 at 02:03

Thanks for the comments, Vincent's solution works like a charm! – J S Jun 16 '13 at 15:17
@G.Grothendieck the link is broken. Would you mind reposting correct link if you find it? Thanks! – Brian Wiley Nov 29 '21 at 19:15
It was moved to github when googlecode shut down: https://github.com/ggrothendieck/sqldf – G. Grothendieck Nov 29 '21 at 19:33
