[R] Problem while installing packages

[Laurent Gautier]

Dear R team / R helpers / R users ,


I downloaded R-1.0.0 to install it but I am currently facing the
following problem :
Installation of packages.


Here is the output I had while trying to install RmSQL :
-------------
> R INSTALL -l /software/R-1.0.0/library/
/software/archive/R/RmSQL_0.2-1.tar.gz
Installing package `RmSQL' ...
 libs
RmSQL.c:7: msql.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [RmSQL.o] Error 1
 R
 help
 >>> Building/Updating help pages for package `RmSQL'
     Formats: text html latex example
 DONE (RmSQL)
<here I interrupted the installation>
---------------

I am even more confused trying to install multiv :
--------------
> R INSTALL -l /software/R-1.0.0/library/
/software/archive/R/multiv_1.0-3.tar.gz
Installing package `multiv' ...
 libs
g77  -fPIC -g -O2 -c bea.f -o bea.o
g77  -fPIC -g -O2 -c ca.f -o ca.o
g77  -fPIC -g -O2 -c hc.f -o hc.o
g77  -fPIC -g -O2 -c hcmovie.f -o hcmovie.o
g77  -fPIC -g -O2 -c members.f -o members.o
g77  -fPIC -g -O2 -c partition.f -o partition.o
g77  -fPIC -g -O2 -c pca.f -o pca.o
g77  -fPIC -g -O2 -c sammon.f -o sammon.o
gcc -shared  -o /software/R-1.0.0/library/multiv/libs/multiv.so bea.o
ca.o hc.o hcmovie.o members.o partition.o pca.o sammon.o
-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/egcs-2.91.66 -L/usr/i486-linux/lib -lg2c
-lm
 R
 help
 >>> Building/Updating help pages for package `multiv'
     Formats: text html latex example
 DONE (multiv)

DONE (INSTALL)
----------

Obviously something went wrong with the documentation this time... In
'R', the command
'library()' does not list 'multiv' as package...



I certainly did something wrong.... but what ????
