Problem
The following error occurs when installing RCurl package in a RedHat Linux environment:
checking for curl-config... no Cannot find curl-config ERROR: configuration failed for package RCurl
Solution
This error pertains to a missing rpm package called libcurl. To verify if you have it installed on your environment, please use the following command:
rpm -qa | grep -i libcurl
There should be two packages showing on the output. If one or none of this packages are present, just use yum to install it:
yum install libcurlyum install libcurl-develyum install libcurl-devel
