R help - Oct 2011 - Problem with twitteR package

Hey Guys,

I just started fooling around with the twitteR package in order to get a record
of all tweets from a single public account. When I run userTimeline, I get the
default 20 most recent tweets just fine. However, when I specify an arbitrary
number of tweets (as described in the documentation from June 14th, 2011), I get
the following warning:
> bjaTweets<-userTimeline("BeijingAir", n=50)
Warning message:
In mapCurlOptNames(names(.els), asNames = TRUE) :
  Unrecognized CURL options: n

Does anyone familiar with the twitteR package know what is going on with
options? Alternatively, if there are any other simple means for getting this
sort of data?

Steve

check the version of  libcurl you have installed. If you have an older
version  some of the
options may not be present.
