I tried to install Synaptic Package Manager but I get the following error message:
Package dependencies cannot be resolved.
This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable.
Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.
There might be updates pending that need to be installed before installing software. Make sure that your software sources are updated.
To update your system press Alt+F2 while in your desktop and look for update-manager
Press Check and after it is finished press Install Updates.
Has an option you can open a terminal and do the same with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. This is preferable since if you get any errors you can copy them and include them in your question.
To open a terminal just press the keys Ctrl+t while in your desktop.
Reboot to be sure and try to install the software again.
The 3 packages that you found to contain curl-config:
libcurl4-gnutls-devlibcurl4-nss-devlibcurl4-openssl-devAll seem to have the same functionality. I installed the first of these via Synaptic Package Manager and was then able to install RCurl from CRAN.
So, if you choose the first option, open a terminal box and do
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
then go into R and do
install.packages("RCurl")
