Error while loading curl about curl

[jeroen]

I've never seen this. Can you provide more info on your system please. Which operating system do you use, any non-standard setup? Does the same thing happen when the package is installed in the default directory instead? Did you install it from source or the binary from CRAN?

Sure. I am using in a visualization tool called Spotfire. There is an additional R Console which runs off from R 3.1.1.2 libraries. I installed it using install.packages('curl').
When installed in the default directory, there are no issues. I tried copying that library onto to the Spotfire library structure as well. That also did not work.
And, yes I am on Windows 7

I don't think this issue is related to curl but rather the way Spotfire manages R packages. Are you not getting the same problem for other packages with compiled code? One thing you could try is compile from source:

library(devtools)
install_github("jeroenooms/curl", lib = "C:/abc/xyz/library")

[kkaisurya]

Sure.. While doing that, probably found out what the issue was. Firstly, I was not able to call the library(devtools) from the Spotfire console. The reason is the 'Namespace' file has useDynLib(). Same is the case for 'Curl' 's 'Namespace' file as well. So not sure, what I should use instead of 'useDynLib()' :(

Can you try this instead:

remove.packages("curl")
install.packages("curl", type = "source", lib = "C:/abc/xyz/library")
