None of my personal installation notes mention doing anything special for /usr/lib/libz*.
My R was built from a source distribution; it is not a binary distribution. (version info below)
The only extra step I do is to define environment variables PKG_CPPFLAGS and PKG_LIBS,
like this:
mysql.home <- '/usr/local/mysql'
Sys.putenv('PKG_CPPFLAGS'=paste('-I',file.path(mysql.home,'include'),sep=''))
Sys.putenv('PKG_LIBS'=paste('-L',file.path(mysql.home,'lib'),' -lmysqlclient',sep=''))
install.packages('RMySQL')
You could try adding /usr/lib to PKG_LIBS.

Hi,
I'm still trying to get RMySQL installed on my Mac. When I try and install from R (version 2.0.1) I'm told that the library "libz" can't be located. It suggests checking in /usr/lib to see if I have the necessary libraries. However, if I check /usr/lib I find I have the following:
libz.1.1.3.dylib* libz.1.dylib* libz.dylib@
Since I have the libraries that RMySQL needs to install I can't figure out why the installation is failing. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to get RMySQL installed on my Mac? Thanks so much.

Thank you for responding. One thing I forgot to mention (although I'm guessing you figured it out anyway) is that I'm running Mac OS X.
I checked and I've got the file /usr/include/zlib.h installed on my machine. Is this enough for R or does it need a more robust installation of zlib? If this is enough, how do I let R know about the zlib.h file. If it's not, where should I get the correct zlib from? Thank you for any and all responses.
