What is 'Unix' here? It seems you mean ppc64 Linux (which is not Unix).

I am having trouble getting an install of RCurl to work properly on a
Unix server. The steps I have taken are:
1. installed cUrl from source without difficulty
2. installed RCurl from source using the command
~/R_HOME/R-devel/bin/R CMD INSTALL -l ~/R_HOME/R-devel/library
~/RCurl_0.8-0.tar.gz I received no errors during this install
3. when I go back to R and require(RCurl), I get
> require(RCurl)
Loading required package: RCurl
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
unable to load shared library
'/N/u/mkimpel/BigRed/R_HOME/R-devel/library/RCurl/libs/RCurl.so':
libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
°1§ FALSE
Outside of R I get
mkimpelàBigRed:¨/R_HOME/R-devel/library/RCurl/libs> ls
RCurl.so
I can cat into RCurl and I have even done chmod a+x RCurl.so in case
there was a problem with permission for R to open the file.
Please do read the message it gave, which is not about opening RCurl.so.
It is saying that libcurl.so.4 is not found by the run-time linker.
Probably you installed it into a directory that is not cached by ldconfig,
so where did you install it? (One possible issue is lib64 vs lib.)
Below is my sessionInfo. Thanks, Mark
