cd /tmp/
tar xfz RCurl*tar.gz
cd RCurl
./configure

There is your log.  When you do it via R CMD INSTALL ..., R cleans up after itself.

| Søren, when we say "install libcurl4-*-dev" we mean this as shorthand saying
| "besides the build environment you should already have".  So please also do
| 
|          sudo apt-get install r-base-dev
| 
| and then try again.  Share all relevant logs with us.
