Hello,

previously I was using Mysql 5.0 and the pre-compiled RMysql library. After updating MySQL to 5.1 I had to compile RMysql from source since I could not find any compiled RMysql libraries.

I followed the intallation procedures given on:
<http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/RMySQL>

but was not successful. The R output is just:

* installing *source* package 'RMySQL' ...
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RMySQL'

I double checked already the value for the MYSQL_HOME environment variable since during installation a editor app is opened giving me the error message:

"The syntax for the file name, the directory name or the hard drive is wrong" (translated by myselfe)

I thought that the error message might refere to the installation path of Mysql given in the MYSQL_HOME environment variable. But a Sys.getenv('MYSQL_HOME') shows me:

"C:/PROGRA~1/MySQL/MYSQLS~1.1/"

So I'm lost especially I could not even find a log file to see what the problem might be.

Thanks for your help.
