Hello list,

I am trying to install Rcurl under Mint/Ubuntu. I installed curl  
7.19.5-1 ubuntu2 using synaptic, the binary package manager but when  
I try to locate curl-config as specified in the FAQ, it is nowhere to  
be found. So I suspect I might have installed curl only, when I  
needed to install curl-dev (again, this is specified in the FAQ).  
Now, the problem I have is that I cannot find that "curl-dev". Doing  
a search in synaptic returns the following options:

libcurl-ocaml-dev
libwww-curl-perl
liblua5.1-curl-dev
libghc6-curl-dev

Is is one of the above? if not, what is the alternative, ie where can  
I find it* and how do I install it?

Many thanks,

Martino

*I did try to follow the link in the FAQ (http://curl.haxx.se/ 
download.html), but it is not clear to me which option I should  
choose or even whether what I am looking for is there at all.
