Hi,
RCurl needs as
SystemRequirements: curl (version 7.14.0 or higher) http://curl.haxx.se
download the source
curl-7.19.7.tar.gz<http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.19.7.tar.gz>(
http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.19.7.tar.gz) and compile it

./configure
make
make test (optional)
make install

then you have to see the installed version with curl-config, because RCurl
use it to check (I had to reboot)

$ curl-config --version
libcurl 7.19.7

then install RCurl. Download the source, extract it and install it it.
R CMD INSTALL <RCurl extracted directory>

Hope it works
Kachelo
