[BioC] problem when try to install GenomicFeatures packages

[Chao-Jen Wong]

Hi, Changbin,

Are you using Linux or Mac OS? The reason that you cannot install the
rtracklayer and GenomicFeatures packages is because the configuration
for RCurl has failed.  Either it couldn't find curl-config in your path
or curl-config is not installed.  On your X window, type "locate
libcurl" to see if "libcurl.so" is  present. If not, you will have to
install curl-devel rpms (if you are using Linux) in order to install
RCurl package.
