This sounds really weird to me.
Do you have problems with any other package?
rbcb is pure R code and doesn't compile native code. So, installing rbcb is similar to install any other package.
What's your R version?

from rbcb.

I'm having problem with other packages that use Brazilian data like BETS, RIBGE and so on. My R version is 3.4.4

from rbcb.

Please, print the error message.
Let's try to find out what's going on.

So @gpetrini, you have problems to install httr's dependencies: curl, openssl, xml2.
httr is necessary to download resources from the Internet, so if you can't install it you certainly will have problems to use any package that accesses online APIs.

The error message indicates that you don't have the native dependencies installed: libcurl, libxml-2.0 and maybe openssl.

Please, check out @lemuelemos suggestion.

Since this issue is not rbcb related I'm closing this. But, let me know if you get rbcb running properly.

from rbcb.

Thanks for the suport.
I've tried @lemuelemos method and still not working.

from rbcb.

You try the others packages that Wilson quote?

from rbcb.

Yes, I tried that too

from rbcb.

Update
Good news. I solved the problem. There were another packages not installed. I installed them by synapthic and worked fine! Thank you all for the suport.
