1. Please read the FAQs on how to report bugs: Always use a recent 
version of R, your version has been released roughly 36 months ago! 
R-2.9.0 is to be released in April. Hence please check bugs with the 
current pre-release version!

2. This is about package RMySQL, hence again, please read the FAQs on 
how to report bugs: Bug reports on contributed packages should go to the 
package maintainer, not to the R bug tracking system.

3. This is probably not even a bug in RMySQL. You obviously have not 
installed the MySQL header files (i.e. devel files).
