I must say I'm pretty new to Linux Debian and R so I might miss here
reporting some relevant information (just in case, sorry for that!); I've
been looking around the web and also onto this mailing list - and indeed
this topic has been already covered-, but still I can't find any useful
solution to my problem (so I just hope someone can help me somehow)
by trying to install RCurl I got the following error message:

The error message is quite clear: It says that you are missing "curl-config" on your system: > checking for curl-config... no > Cannot find curl-config On my Fedora system I would do: yum whatprovides curl-config and I would get: libcurl-devel-7.24.0-2.fc17.x86_64 : Files needed for building applications with libcurl So I would then do: sudo yum install libcurl-devel I don't know what the appropriate syntax on Debian would be; on Ubuntu I believe you say "aptget" rather than "yum". Whatever; something similar should be available to you. cheers, Rolf Turner On 24/12/14 10:38, maxbre wrote:> I must say I'm pretty new to Linux Debian and R so I might miss here > reporting some relevant information (just in case, sorry for that!); I've > been looking around the web and also onto this mailing list - and indeed > this topic has been already covered-, but still I can't find any useful > solution to my problem (so I just hope someone can help me somehow) > > by trying to install RCurl I got the following error message: > > ######################### > install.packages('RCurl') > Installing package into ?/home/max/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.1? > (as ?lib? is unspecified) > provo con l'URL 'http://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/RCurl_1.95-4.5.tar.gz' > Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 878651 bytes (858 Kb) > URL aperto > =================================================> downloaded 858 Kb > > * installing *source* package ?RCurl? ... > ** package ?RCurl? successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked > checking for curl-config... no > Cannot find curl-config > ERROR: configuration failed for package ?RCurl? > * removing ?/home/max/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.1/RCurl?<SNIP> -- Rolf Turner Technical Editor ANZJS
Do you have curl installed? RCurl just uses your external-to-R system
installation of the curl software to do its real work.

I think you need to have curl-config installed. I had a similar
problem on Ubuntu and found the program in various packages:.
$ apt-file search curl-config | grep bin
libcurl4-gnutls-dev: /usr/bin/curl-config
libcurl4-nss-dev: /usr/bin/curl-config
libcurl4-openssl-dev: /usr/bin/curl-config
I think that installing any one of them would probably fix the
problem. I think I used the "openssl" one.
