RCurl
problems in Fedora
Somehow installing R in Fedora by following
their own documentation
doesn't install a dependency for an R package called RCurl
which seems to be required for the install.packages
command.
Install libcurl-devel
to avoid headaches.
dnf install libcurl-devel
Then install RCurl, and whatever you may need to install eventually.
install.packages('RCurl', repos='https://cloud.r-project.org')
