Unfortunately, binaries are not available on CRAN for MacOS X and

the link on the RCurl page on CRAN:
Installation of the source worked like charm by using R package installer after installing bitops.

Just one question. I get this message after installing RCurl:

installation of package 'RCurl' had non-zero exit status

Probably that it didn't install properly. Have you tried:

library(RCurl)

I suspect it won't work as it didn't install.

Well, library(Rcurl) throws no error. It seems to me that Rcurl installs fine. I've even tried to access your zipped file but of course authentication fails!


Next step will be to post the output from R when you do:

install.packages("RCurl")

It fails, I suspect this is the expected behavior as there is no RCurl binary at CRAN: package ‘RCurl’ is not available.

But Package Installer at R 2.11.0 GUI 1.33 Leopard build 32-bit (5582) does the work pretty well: it downloads and compiles the sources and only some warnings and this...

installation of package 'RCurl' had non-zero exit status

appears during the process.


as somewhere in amongst that will be reason why installation failed.
Note the system reqs. for RCurl:

SystemRequirements:     curl (version 7.14.0 or higher) http://curl.haxx.se

so you need this installed and the development headers for curl
available (on Linux this would usually be in a curl-devel package
provided your linux distribution, but I don't know where or what this
would be on MacOS X.)

You might want to move this to the R-SIG-Mac mailing list as they will
be best placed to assist with installing this package from source on
your system.

Thanks. I'll move this thread to R-SIG-Mac mailing list although installation seams to work fine!

Greetings,

Ricardo
