Configuration error:
   Could not locate the library "libz" required by MySQL.

INSTRUCTIONS:

   The "libz" library is required by the MySQL client library
   in order to compress/uncompress connections between clients
   and the MySQL engine.

   Make sure you have "libz" installed properly and/or included
   in your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Perhaps it is not in any of the
   standard directories (e.g., /usr/lib/, /usr/local/lib)?

Aborting the installation of RMySQL.
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RMySQL'
** Removing '/usr/local/lib/R/library/RMySQL'


This is the error that I am getting while trying to instal RMySQL on
Solaris.Any ideas?.
