[R-sig-Debian] libcurl issue when manually installing R-3.3.3 on Debian 3.16.0-4-amd64

[Lucio Marcello]

Dear Dirk,

Do you mean binaries for R-3.3.3?

I could not find any link on the page you mention
I downloaded R-3.3.3.tar.gz from https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-3/

then ran
./configure

I also tried
./configure --enable-R-shlib
based on a suggestion found in
http://jenzopr.github.io/bioinformatics/2016/05/03/r-wheezy-build.html

Many thanks,

Lucio

I would install the binary from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/
