Hi I run suse linux 9.1 and I installed MySQL server, client, devel, bench. DBI is installed, when I try to install RMySQL I get an error saying, that libz is missing. (paths to libs were set:export PKG_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mysql/" export PKG_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/mysql/ -lmysqlclient") so my question: where do I get the libz files (are these mysql files? if yes, why were they not installed at least by mysql-devel?) thanks for your kind help christoph
Hi, do you have zlib installed on your system? (rpm -q zlib tells you if or not) You can also try rpm -q --whatprovides libz . zlib provides libz. If not installed, the manual compilation of R uses its own version of zlib, if I understand it correctly. So, not really a problem with the rpm.
