Dear all,

I am trying to install RCurl (because I want to install devtools) and to do so I've been informed that I must install one of the packages
  libcurl4-openssl-dev
  libcurl4-nss-dev

No matter which one I install I get the following error from R:

* installing *source* package ‘RCurl’ ...
** package ‘RCurl’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
checking for curl-config... /usr/bin/curl-config
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘RCurl’
* removing ‘/home/sorenh/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.0/RCurl’

Any help would be most welcome.

Best regards
Søre
