I have done this from my previous computer, a Windows PC running Windows XP (32 bit). So in theory it can be done. I had installed the MySQL Workbench application as well which no doubt set up the MySQL dll's needed.
My new computer is running Windows 7 64-bit for which RMySQL is not yet built. What OS are you running?
