Hello list,
I am trying to install Rcurl under Mint/Ubuntu. I installed curl
7.19.5-1 ubuntu2 using synaptic, the binary package manager but when
I try to locate curl-config as specified in the FAQ, it is nowhere to
be found. So I suspect I might have installed curl only, when I
needed to install curl-dev (again, this is specified in the FAQ).
Now, the problem I have is that I cannot find that "curl-dev". Doing
a search in synaptic returns the following options:
libcurl-ocaml-dev
libwww-curl-perl
liblua5.1-curl-dev
libghc6-curl-dev
Is is one of the above? if not, what is the alternative, ie where can
I find it* and how do I install it?
Many thanks,
Martino
*I did try to follow the link in the FAQ (http://curl.haxx.se/
download.html), but it is not clear to me which option I should
choose or even whether what I am looking for is there at all.
