[R] Install RCurl in Linux

[Duncan Temple Lang]

Hi

If you are getting exactly the same errors, then it is probable
that your installation of curl-7.19.2 is not taking
effect and the configuration script is still finding the older
version.  So you may want to check the output
of
   curl-config --version
in the same  shell as you issue R CMD INSTALL.


If the new libcurl header files are being used, I doubt
you will get the same errors.  So we need to see those also
to be able to assist.
