Hey Simon!

At the bottom of https://mac.r-project.org/libs-4/ is:

    curl -O 
http://mac.R_project.org/libs-4/pkgconfig-0.28-darwin.17-x86_64.tar.gz

While most folks will figure it out, it should be:

    curl -O 
http://mac.R-project.org/libs-4/pkgconfig-0.28-darwin.17-x86_64.tar.gz

(dash instead of underline).
