[R] error installing RCurl in SUSE SLES10-SP2

dear list,

i'm trying to install the package RCurl into a linux system running SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 but i get compilation errors which i
guess should be due to some missing additional software. i've been
searching about the R-help archives without success so i hope somebody
can point me out to this missing piece.

in principle, i have the necessary curl software installed:

$ rpm -qa | grep curl
curl-7.15.1-19.11
curl-devel-7.15.1-19.11
curl-32bit-7.15.1-19.11

however as you'll see below, when i try to install it from R the
compilation breaks. i've included at the end also the sessionInfo()
output (it's R-2.9.0). i've also tried to install a newer version of
RCurl (0.98) which i found in http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl but it gives
the same errors.

thanks!
robert.
