'Installation of package <package> had non-zero exit status' on R-3.2.0 (RStudio Version 0.98.1103) on Ubuntu 12.04 OS - R-help

Thu, Apr 30, 2015 12:20 PM #

In that case, it seems that *libcurl* is not available for R-3.2.0 as I get
a message for

*>* *install.packages("libcurl")*

  package ?libcurl? is not available (for R version 3.2.0)

Or if on Terminal I run

*sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev*

Package libcurl4-openssl-dev is not available, but is referred to by
another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

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.
