Probably that it didn't install properly. Have you tried:

library(RCurl)

I suspect it won't work as it didn't install.

Next step will be to post the output from R when you do:

install.packages("RCurl")

as somewhere in amongst that will be reason why installation failed.
Note the system reqs. for RCurl:

SystemRequirements:	curl (version 7.14.0 or higher) http://curl.haxx.se

so you need this installed and the development headers for curl
available (on Linux this would usually be in a curl-devel package
provided your linux distribution, but I don't know where or what this
would be on MacOS X.)

You might want to move this to the R-SIG-Mac mailing list as they will
be best placed to assist with installing this package from source on
your system.

All the best,

G
