install RMySQL on Fedora 21

I am trying to install RMySQl on Fedora 21, but I get an error:

------------------------- ANTICONF ERROR ---------------------------

Configuration failed because libmysqlclient was not found. Try installing:

  • deb: libmysqlclient-dev | libmariadb-client-lgpl-dev (Debian)
  • libmysqlclient-dev | libmariadbclient-dev (Ubuntu)
  • rpm: mariadb-devel | mysql-devel (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL)
  • csw: mysql56_dev (Solaris)
  • brew: mysql-connector-c (OSX)

If libmysqlclient is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a libmysqlclient.pc file.

If pkg-config is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:

R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'

Trying to install mysql-devel with rpm did not work because of dependencies are not handled by rpm, and by yum also gave errors:

Error: Package: mysql-devel-5.5.46-1.el6.remi.x86_64 (/mysql-devel-5.5.46-1.el6.remi.x86_64)
           Requires: real-mysql(x86-64) = 5.5.46-1.el6.remi 
Error: Package: mysql-devel-5.5.46-1.el6.remi.x86_64 (/mysql-devel-5.5.46-1.el6.remi.x86_64)
           Requires: real-mysql-libs(x86-64) = 5.5.46-1.el6.remi

I am not sure what to do to make this work

Any help with what steps I need to do would be helpful.

If you want to install "mysql-devel" from "remi" repository, you also need to take "mysql" and "mysql-libs" from the same repository.

And don't try to install "el6" packages (Enterprise Linux 6, aka RHEL or CentOS) on another distro (Fedora).
