I finally was able to compile/load it under windows 7. I had similar problems to what you show below.
I set the MYSQL_HOME environmental variable through windows (start button > control panel > System and Security > system > Advanced System Settings > Environmental variables). I had to set it to the version of the path without spaces, in my case it was: c:\PROGRA~1\MySQL\MYSQLS~1.5 Then I opened a command prompt window, changed to the directory where I had downloaded the tar.gz file from cran and entered the command: "c:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1\bin\x64\R" CMD INSTALL RMySQL_0.9-3.tar.gz and everything worked (it did not work if I used i386 or just the regular bin folder, possibly due to the version of MySQL I downloaded). Then I started a new instance of R and did library(MySQL) and everything loaded and I was able to connect to a local MySQL database. Hope this helps you as well.
