Hi,

Not the way the R posting guide asked you to specify this!

Any help, please?

Install libcurl, including its development files (libcurl-devel on RPM-based distributions). As the DESCRIPTION file says:

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

(but most Linux distros separate curl, libcurl and libcurl-devel).
