Common Installation Problems

RCurl package cannot be installed

If you see an error like:

  • installing source package ‘RCurl’ ...
    • package ‘RCurl’ correctement décompressé et sommes MD5 vérifiées
      checking for curl-config... no
      Cannot find curl-config
      ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘RCurl’

then there are missing dependencies for the RCurl package, upon which the Synapse R client depends.  For information on resolving these missing dependencies, please see: http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl/FAQ.html
