Re: [R] update.packages() behavior

I am not seeing an option with $ ./configure --help to include libcurl. The Release Notes say: = It is now easier to use secure downloads from https:// URLs on builds which support them: no longer do non-default options need to be selected to do so. In particular, packages can be installed

Right R-3.2.2 has the new default, but requires, for example, libcurl suppport in order to be able to deal with https. See the reelase Notes. Otherwise, http works as before. Best, Uwe Ligges On 07.09.2015 17:08, Bennet Fauber wrote: I recently compiled and installed R 3.2.2 on an RHEL 6.5

I recently compiled and installed R 3.2.2 on an RHEL 6.5 system. Upon installation, I tried $ R-3.2.2/bin/R R version 3.2.2 (2015-08-14) -- "Fire Safety" > update.packages() --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Error in download.file(url, destfile = f, quiet = TRUE)
