I have been unable to build RMySQL on OSX 10.12.3. I have MySQL ver 5.7.17 installed. I also install mariadb-connector-c using brew. I tried to build RMySQL ver 10.9 from CRAN overriding the default locations for mysql due to have installed MySQL using Oracle installer rather than brew. After some effort I finally got the build process to find all mysql headers and libraries but the build failed due to an error linking the ssl library. I attempted to build using devtools on the latest development version and got the same error. I believe the error may have something to do with the latest version of OSX having new SSL library. I installed OpenSSL via brew but it says that the libraries are keg only with no change in the error.
