I am trying to install RMySQL on OpenSolaris and need to pass some options to configure. Tried the 3 recommended ways of doing it and nothing works, configure cannot find the headers and the libs. I ran configure manually and that worked fine ./configure CC=cc CFLAGS="-dalign -KPIC -xlic_lib=sunperf" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/sfw/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/csw/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/lib/R/include -I/usr/mysql/5.0/include/mysql -I/opt/csw/include -I/usr/sfw/include -I/usr/X11/include -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include" --with-mysql-inc="/usr/mysql/include/mysql" --with-mysql-lib="/usr/mysql/lib/mysql" checking mysql.h usability... yes checking mysql.h presence... yes checking for mysql.h... yes configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating src/Makevars but then there is no makefile. Pls advise how to run make manually or help with the syntax: I tried with quotes after the second = and the first = and neither worked R CMD INSTALL --configure-args=CC=cc --configure-args=CFLAGS="-dalign -KPIC -xlic_lib=sunperf" --configure-args=LDFLAGS="-L/usr/sfw/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/csw/lib" --configure-args=CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/lib/R/include -I/usr/mysql/5.0/include/mysql -I/opt/csw/include -I/usr/sfw/include -I/usr/X11/include -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include" --configure-args="--with-mysql-inc=/usr/mysql/include/mysql" --configure-args="--with-mysql-lib=/usr/mysql/lib/mysql" RMySQL_0.7-3.tar.gz ## does not work Thank you Stephen C.
