I'm having problem installing "Rcurl" in Rstudio on opensuse 15.2. I have installed Rstudio from the OS repository, I have been searching for similar questions and answers, and found this other question which I think it's the closest one to mine but in Ubuntu. Following some suggestions I didn't get to solve the problem in my case. Here is the error I get:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘RCurl’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/home/alcides/R/x86_64-suse-linux-gnu-library/3.5/RCurl/libs/RCurl.so':

I reproduced the error and at first I couldn't install RCurl. The way I solved is by installing:
sudo zypper install libcurl-devel
And then from R
install.packages ("RCurl")
Among the packages available for Leap 15.2 is also R-RCurl-1.95_4.11-lp152.6.7.x86_64.rpm, but it is for R 4.0.2, not 3.5 like the one you use.

  • I tried the R-RCurl-1.95 mentioned with R 3.5, but didn't work. So I updated R to version 4.0.2 and then try installing the R-RCurl-1.95. It then ask me for a R-bitops dependency, the one that comes with the YAST software management didn't work. The [R-bitops-1.0_6-lp152.7.4.x86_64.rpm](https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/released/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/x86_64/) was the one that worked for me. I tested on openSuse Leap 15.2 and 15.1 both with R 4.0.2. Thank you @ruben-diaz – Alcides Jul 27 '20 at 20:54
