[R] install.packages problem

I'm trying to install the rdatamarket package. I did an
install.packages('rdatamarket') command but got an error about half way
through the install as follows:

* installing *source* package ‘RCurl’ ...
checking for curl-config... no
Cannot find curl-config
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘RCurl’

The install continued after the error but looks like it was completed. I'm
trying to figure out what the error means and how I fix it. 

Here's what I'm seeing ...ideas on how to address this would be appreciated
:
