This is kind of a second question (yeah, I know), but I also get a similar

the RCurl package

Cannot find curl-config
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘RCurl’

I never had any problems with installing packages. However, I recently removed 
my windows
partition and things all weird now.


Thanks again.

      Abraham -

          sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev

      is what you need to get the development libraries and xml2-config 
installed on your Ubuntu
      machine.

      Hello folks,


      Here's is info on what system I'm working on.
            sessionInfo()

      R version 2.13.0 (2011-04-13)
      Platform: i686-pc-linux-gnu (32-bit)


      I'm trying to install the XML package. However, I end up with the 
following
      error message.

            install.packages("XML")

      ....

      Warning message:

      When I run library(XML), I get that there is no package named XML.

      Can anyone help diagnose the problem.


      Thank You,
      Abraham
