Dear R-Users, I am having some trouble getting an installation of RCurl 0.8-1 to work properly on a Debian (Etch) machine.
The command 'R CMD INSTALL RCurl_0.8-1.tar.gz' yields the following error: Installing *source* package 'RCurl' ... checking for curl-config... no Cannot find curl-config ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RCurl' I do know that a file is missing (curl-config) but where to get it from? I installed the latest 'curl' and 'libcurl3' packages via apt-get install. Furthermore, I crawled various mailing-lists to get my problem solved, but without being lucky. Do I miss mandatory packages that go beyond those two mentioned above?
