Dear anybody
I am running Fedora Core 6 with the latest version of R.
When I try to install the package RMySQL I get this message:
* Installing *source* package 'RMySQL' ...

Configuration error:
Could not locate the library libz required by MySQL.
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)?
Aborting the installation of RMySQL.
I haev checked my installation adn foudn teh follwing files:
/usr/lib/libz.so (whcih points to)
/usr/lib/libz.so.1.2
(not .so.1.2.3 ?)
Any help woudl be appreciated. I couldn't find anytign in teh archives.

Looks like I have
