I wonder if anybody has successfully got the RMySQL installation working?
I have followed the instructions (both approaches) given on the build failure CRAN site but still get a configuration error. WARNING: ignoring environment value of R_HOME * Installing *source* package 'RMySQL' ... creating cache ./config.cache checking how to run the C preprocessor...

INSTRUCTIONS: The "libz" library is required by the MySQL client library in order to compress/uncompress connections between clients and the MySQL engine. Make sure you have "libz" installed properly and/or included in your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Perhaps it is not in any of the standard directories (e.g., /usr/lib/, /usr/local/lib)?
