Thanks David,
I tried the binaries you sent me. Here's the warning it gave me:

    > library(RMySQL)
    Warning message:
    DLL attempted to change FPU control word from 8001f to 9001f

Then I tried to do this:

    > con <- dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL"), dbname = "test")

but it crashed R.
I got back to the sources then (but now using RCMD.EXE)... but again
it seems I'm missing something important:

    C:\Program Files\R\rw1071\bin>rcmd INSTALL ..\src\library\RMySQL

    make: *** No rule to make target `Files/R/rw1071/src/library'.  Stop.
    *** Installation of RMySQL failed ***

    C:\Program Files\R\rw1071\bin>

Thank you so much for your help.
