I am trying to install RCurl package on R 3.5.0.

Toward end, I get the error message:

** R

I downloaded and installed RCurl in two stages

> download.packages("RCurl", "/tmp", repos = BiocInstaller::biocinstallRepos())
> q()
$ cd /tmp
$ tar xzf RCurl_1.95-4.11.tar.gz
$ R CMD INSTALL RCurl

At the very and of the build I saw

gcc -dynamiclib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -undefined dynamic_lookup -single_module -multiply_defined suppress -L/usr/local/lib -o RCurl.so base64.o curl.o curlInit.o curl_base64.o enums.o json.o memoryManagement.o myUTF8.o -lcurl -L/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk/usr/lib -lxml2 -lz -lpthread -licucore -lm -Wl,-framework -Wl,CoreFoundation

where -licucore is I guess providing the same functionality as the missing library. I looked at the src/Makevars to see where this library is coming from. I don't see explicit mention of it, but I do see

PKG_LIBS=$(CURL_LIBS) $(shell xml2-config --libs)

and when I execute the shell command

$ xml2-config --libs
-L/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk/usr/lib -lxml2 -lz -lpthread -licucore -lm

I see where the library is coming from. From this I infer that your missing library is due to a mis-configured libxml2, and that you should use your system package manager to re-install libxml2.

I include the details above as possible guidance for trouble-shooting your particular installation.
