Error: libcurl> = 7.22.0 library and headers are required with https support (for R 3.4.1)

Question

I tried installing R 3.4.1 on my computer. I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and I already have R 3.3.2. I typed ./configure , but first I got this error message:

error: --with-x = yes (default) and X11 headers / libraries are not available

I found some hints in stackoverflow, so I tried to fix this:

 sudo apt-get install libx11-dev sudo apt-get install xorg-dev 

and use one of the three libcurl4-dev.

 sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev sudo apt-get install libcurl4-nss-dev 

I may have fixed the first problem, but I have not yet been able to fix it. I got this error message:

error: libcurl> = 7.22.0 library and headers required with https support

Can someone help me fix this?
