Hello Rolf, Thanks for the config.log! I think we do have a path forward, but there might be some more problems on the way. Here's the relevant part of config.log: http://paste.debian.net/hidden/a0821b3c/ This system is in a tricky state. There's libcurl and maybe some other software in /usr/loc

Dear Rolf, Sorry you're still having problems with this. If you still would like to build R-4.1.0 from source (instead of using a Docker image or some binary package), could you share your config.log using a service like https://paste.debian.net/ ? It's also... interesting that you got a "permiss
