[BioC] Error in RCurl and GEOquery installation

[Nathan.Watson-Haigh at csiro.au]

You may also need to install the curl-devel package (which I think has
curl-config). In addition, once R can fine curl-config, you may
encounter a problem which I had, which seemed to be that Rcurl 0.9-3
mistook my system for a 64bit OS rather than a 32Bit OS. As a result, I
was forced to install an older version of RCurl:

Hope this helps,
Nath

Hi Elin ,
   I am new linux user, have never used R in linux before. It would be
great if you suggest me a server where I can download libcurl. I do have
the curl package installed.

   Thanks,
   Amin

Hi Amin,

Are you sure you have libcurl installed?

Best wishes,
