Hi, RCurl needs as SystemRequirements: curl (version 7.14.0 or higher) http://curl.haxx.se download the source curl-7.19.7.tar.gz<http: curl.haxx.se="" download="" curl-7.19.7.tar.gz="">( http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.19.7.tar.gz) and compile it ./configure make make test (optional) make install then you have to see the installed version with curl-config, because RCurl use it to check (I had to reboot) $ curl-config --version libcurl 7.19.7 then install RCurl. Download the source, extract it and install it it. R CMD INSTALL <rcurl extracted="" directory=""> Hope it works Kachelo 2010/1/13 Kasper Daniel Hansen <khansen@stat.berkeley.edu> > You probably need the curl-devel package installed on your system. > > Ask your sysadmin about this. > > Kasper > > On Jan 13, 2010, at 0:49 AM, Sunny Srivastava wrote: > > > Dear Bioconductor Helpers, > > I followed the directions on > > > > http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl/FAQ.html > > > > and found that libcurl.so was located in usr/lib32/ on my machine.
