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 i am  facing
 problem .

while installation the error report which is coming is as follows:



* Installing *source* package 'RMySQL' ...

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'

1. Please read the FAQs on how to report bugs: Always use a recent 
version of R, your version has been released roughly 36 months ago! 
R-2.9.0 is to be released in April. Hence please check bugs with the 
current pre-release version!

2. This is about package RMySQL, hence again, please read the FAQs on 
how to report bugs: Bug reports on contributed packages should go to the 
package maintainer, not to the R bug tracking system.

3. This is probably not even a bug in RMySQL. You obviously have not 
installed the MySQL header files (i.e. devel files).
