Hi Cornellia, Brief aside: don't forget to hit reply-all when responding to bioconductor emails so other people can benefit from the help ((and more people can help you). The errors you are getting suggest that you do not have some (or all(?)) of the library installed in your system itself (this isn't an R thing, but a system setup/install thing). In fact, it seemslike your problems with your RCurl install can be explained from information here: http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl/FAQ.html Use your package manager to search for and install the libraries related to libcurl .. is there a libcurl-devel also? The FAQ suggests grabbing a package called "libcurl4-openssl-dev" ... I guess you should use apt-get to find something named similar ...
