Hi, All
 I have a linux system of Mandriva-2007 with R version 2.3.0 and MySQL with
5.0.0. I have also got DBI-R database interface version-0.1-11 installed on
my Linux system.While installing RMySQL package version 0.5-11 but facing
the problem mentioned below .



* Installing *source* package 'RMySQL' ...
creating cache ./config.cache
checking how to run the C preprocessor... cc -E
checking for compress in -lz... yes
checking for getopt_long in -lc... yes
checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no

checking for /usr/local/mysql/include/
mysql/mysql.h... no
checking for /opt/include/mysql/mysql.h... no
checking for /include/mysql/mysql.h... no

Configuration error:
  could not find the MySQL installation include and/or library
  directories.  Manually specify the location of the MySQL
  libraries and the header files and re-run R CMD INSTALL.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Define and export the 2 shell variables PKG_CPPFLAGS and
   PKG_LIBS to include the directory for header files (*.h)
   and libraries, for example (using Bourne shell syntax):

      export PKG_CPPFLAGS="-I<MySQL-include-dir>"
      export PKG_LIBS="-L<MySQL-lib-dir> -lmysqlclient"

   Re-run the R INSTALL command:

      R CMD INSTALL RMySQL_<version>.tar.gz

2. Alternatively, you may pass the configure arguments
      --with-mysql-dir=<base-dir> (distribution directory)
   or
      --with-mysql-inc=<base-inc> (where MySQL header files reside)
      --with-mysql-lib=<base-lib> (where MySQL libraries reside)
   in the call to R INSTALL --configure-args='...'

   R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--with-mysql-dir=DIR'
RMySQL_<version>.tar.gz

ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RMySQL'
** Removing '/usr/lib/R/library/RMySQL'





Any help will be great.
Thankyou in advance.
