I can't seem to install devtools. I always get this message (at the end):
* installing *source* package ‘RCurl’ ...
** package ‘RCurl’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
checking for curl-config... no
Cannot find curl-config
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘RCurl’

Can someone tell me whats up? I am using Ubuntu 14.04, some research seems to imply that may be the issue.
Look more closely:

Cannot find curl-config
You need the curl-config
script. In general, you want a package libcurl*-dev
or alike, and the aming may vary between distros. On the system on which I type this:
edd@max:~$ dpkg -S `which curl-config`
libcurl4-nss-dev: /usr/bin/curl-config
edd@max:~$
but there is also an alternate libcurl4-gnutls-dev
which I use on some other systems, as well as libcurl4-openssl-dev
.
Helped me.
sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
