Yeah remove that But I don't even get why you are doing this. On a mac (at least with a newer version of the OS like Tiger or newer) RCurl works out of the box.
So what you do it remove offending line in bashrc do a grep in you home folder to check you don't have other offending lines including either LD_LIBRARY_PATH or DYLD_LIBRARYPATH cd /etc and do a recursive grep for LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and see if it hits anything. restart Terminal start R and verify it works Now, after this you start the _GUI_ and do the Sys.getenv thing. The GUI works differently from terminal R in this case. If the offending value is still there, you might want to have a look in .MacOS/environment.plist There might be a similar line somewhere Finally, write 100 times "I will not do random things to my system I read on random websites". Ok, that is a little tough, but you do realize this is all your own doing, right.
