On most Linux distros third-party packages are split up into parts needed to use the library and parts needed to compile against the library, and you need both. I hope libcurl.so.3 is actually in /usr/lib. One of the components that will be in curl-devel is libcurl.so that you need to compile against libcurl.> >> install.packages("RCurl") > --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- > Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done > trying URL 'http://cran.hostingzero.net/src/contrib/RCurl_0.9-3.tar.gz' > Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 150822 bytes (147 Kb) > opened URL > =================================================> downloaded 147 Kb > > * Installing *source* package 'RCurl' ... > checking for curl-config... no > Cannot find curl-config > ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RCurl' > ** Removing '/usr/lib/R/library/RCurl' > > The downloaded packages are in > /tmp/RtmprTpHXJ/downloaded_packages > Updating HTML index of packages in '.Library' > Warning message: > In install.packages("RCurl") : > installation of package 'RCurl' had non-zero exit status >> > > > > > It would be great if some one has suggesstion about solving this problem > > > Thanks, > Amin > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >-- Brian D.
