You need the matching -dev package for the library. Typically, any libfoo
will provide the shared library to _run_ apps, but libfoo-dev is needed to
_compile and link_ those apps.
We encode this via the so-called Build-Depends: in debian/control. Here, you
get (indented for easier reading)
Build-Depends: debhelper (>>4.1.0), cdbs, r-base-dev (>= 2.0.0),
libmysqlclient15-dev, r-cran-dbi (>= 0.1.8)
Apt can actually autobuild the package for you too if you add source entries
to /etc/apt/sources. That's for another day...

Feel free pay back your gratitude with a donation to the R Foundation, or to
SPI (Debian's umbrella organization) ;-)
Hope this helps, Dirk
