[R-SIG-Mac] cannot install the package RMySQL

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

You get an error saying that whatever you have downloaded is not  
really a valid *.tar.gz file. This is most likely a download error.  
You could try downloading the file manually and then use R CMD INSTALL  
to install the package from Terminal (or use the "Install from local  
file" under the GUI - if that option is still around :)
