Here is my OS details:

$ uname -a
Linux starbuck 3.2.0-92-generic #131-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 20 16:16:02 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here is my R version:

$ R --version
R version 3.2.2 (2015-08-14) -- "Fire Safety"

Here is my .Rprofile:

options("repos" = c(CRAN = "https://cran.r-project.org"))

Now when I open R and try to list the available packages I get:

 > available.packages()
 Warning: unable to access index for repository https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib

    Are you sure your computer has internet connectivity? Did you try other CRAN mirrors (`chooseCRANmirror()`)? – MrFlick Nov 05 '15 at 05:08

    What is the output of `capabilities("libcurl")`? –  Nov 05 '15 at 05:13
  • Yes, I have an active internet connection. If I try another mirror I get the same error (`Warning: unable to access index for repository https://cran.revolutionanalytics.com/src/contrib`) – mikeycgto Nov 05 '15 at 05:13
  • `capabilities("libcurl")` is returning `FALSE`. I'm assuming that is bad? – mikeycgto Nov 05 '15 at 05:16

    Yes, it is. You cannot access https. This [recent thread](https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2015-November/433682.html) might help you to solve the problem. –  Nov 05 '15 at 05:17
  • I install R off of https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/. How can I get libcurl support? – mikeycgto Nov 05 '15 at 05:19
