在R中安装ShortRead软件包时出现问题-无法安装RCurl依赖项

Question

I'm working with Bioconductor and I would like to install the ShortRead package. i've tried many times but I come to an error installing the dependency package RCurl. I get this error in RStudio:

            Cannot find curl-config

What shall I do? Is there an alternative to ShortRead?

Thanks ;)

Answer 1

• What OS are you using?

• sessionInfo () ?

• is libcurl (probably you need the dev version) installed? RCurl links to libcurl. RCurl's CRAN page says:

SystemRequirements: libcurl (version 7.14.0 or higher) http://curl.haxx.se . On Linux systems, you will often have to explicitly install libcurl-devel to have the header files and the libcurl library.
