I just went through a similar experience on CentOS. My Linux skills
are a bit wobbly, but I learned watching my local IT whiz get me
straightened out. Have you tried testing the curl companion command,
curl-config, to see what you have installed? For example...
$ curl-config --version
libcurl 7.19.7
If that doesn't work then it seems to me that you either don't have
curl installed or if you do it isn't on your search path.
Cheers,
Ben
I never had any problems with installing packages. However, I recently
removed my windows
partition and things all weird now.
Thanks again.

Abraham -
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
is what you need to get the development libraries and xml2-config
installed
on your Ubuntu machine.

Hello folks,
Here's is info on what system I'm working on.
sessionInfo()
R version 2.13.0 (2011-04-13)

I'm trying to install the XML package. However, I end up with the
following
error message.
install.packages("XML")

Warning message:

When I run library(XML), I get that there is no package named XML.
Can anyone help diagnose the problem.
Thank You,
Abraham
