curl package uses an undefined symbol from libcurl
It seems that the curl package tries to use a symbol (_curl_is_long_option) from libcurl that is not defined in the library. Consequently, the installation fails. The following is a transcript of a portion of the build.
** R ** inst ** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading ** help *** installing help indices ** building package indices ** installing vignettes ** testing if installed package can be loaded Error: package or namespace load failed for 'curl' in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...): unable to load shared object '/scratch/www/R-curl/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/lib/R/library/curl/libs/curl.so': /scratch/www/R-curl/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/lib/R/library/curl/libs/curl.so: Undefined PLT symbol "_curl_is_long_option" (symnum = 56) Error: loading failed Execution halted ERROR: loading failed
There is no _curl_is_long_option in the code so I think you messed up your libcurl installation.
Can you please tell me which version of curl you are installing and which operating system you use?

Sorry.
curl-7.66.0 on both NetBSD and MacOSX.

We test with curl 7.66.0 on MacOS and I cannot reproduce your problem.
Are you using the latest version (4.2) of the curl R package? Are you compiling with any special cflags? Could it be that you have multiple versions of libcurl installed on your system that conflict with each other?
