When I try installing RCurl package for the installation of GEOquery in RHEL5 I get the following error. I would be happy if some one can give me suggestion to solve this. > 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 > Thanks Amin

Hi Amin, Are you sure you have libcurl installed?

Hi Elin , I am new linux user, have never used R in linux before. It would be great if you suggest me a server where I can download libcurl. I do have the curl package installed.

Hi Amin > > checking for curl-config... no > > Cannot find curl-config > > ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RCurl' > > ** Removing '/usr/lib/R/library/RCurl' > You need libcurl development libraries installed. On Ubuntu 8.04, IIRC, using libcurl4-openssl-dev worked fine for me: Install on apt supported system: sudo apt-get install licurl4-openssl-dev Hope that helps, Arnar [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

You may also need to install the curl-devel package (which I think has curl-config). In addition, once R can fine curl-config, you may encounter a problem which I had, which seemed to be that Rcurl 0.9-3 mistook my system for a 64bit OS rather than a 32Bit OS. As a result, I was forced to install an older version of RCurl: http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl/RCurl_0.8-3.tar.gz Hope this helps, Nath -----Original Message----- From: bioconductor-bounces@stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:bioconductor-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Momin, Amin A Sent: Friday, 25 July 2008 11:04 AM To: Elin Axelsson Cc: bioconductor at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: Re: [BioC] Error in RCurl and GEOquery installation Hi Elin , I am new linux user, have never used R in linux before.
