I recently upgraded to *R-3.2.0* from *R-2.14.1* on *Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.*
I have been *trying to install some add-on packages* (that weren't
installed in the earlier version of R) to R-3.2.0. *but to no avail*,
getting repeated error messages. For example, *I tried installing swirl*.
Here's my output. The problem areas are highlighted in yellow. Any solution?

The error message looks pretty clear: the installer couldn't find curl-config. Just install whatever package is necessary to get libcurl, and make sure curl-config is on your path, and you should get past that error, and on to the next one. Duncan Murdoch
