rinstallation

Installing R on Linux: configure: error: libcurl >= 7.28.0 library and headers are required with support for https

My issue is this:

Rigth now i have R 3.2 wooden xmas tree version, but theres some packages I need that dosent work on this version, so when i try to install the newest version, with

./configure

It returns the next error 

configure: error: libcurl >= 7.28.0 library and headers are required with support for https

I have a package called libcurl3 installed. And its already in the last version.

Ill appreciate any help.

Note: I'm using Ubuntu based Peppermint 7 OS

Solution

  • I had similar problem, and I solve it by installing libcurl4-openssl-dev. This is one of packages, which R could use (R manual https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/curl/index.html)
