Try to Install twitteR package, it will automatically try to install ROauth (since it's a suggested package), which depends on liboauth. You can download liboauth from http://liboauth.sourceforge.net.

Install Rcurl:

$sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

you can do in similar terms.Install an R package from the Linux command line. Let's say we would like to install the "likelihood" R package. you can download it by:

$ wget -q http://cran.csiro.au/src/contrib/likelihood_1.5.tar.gz

Next we use the R CMD INSTALL command to install it. Please note that depending on the installation destination you may need to have a superuser privileges:

    $ sudo R CMD INSTALL likelihood_1.5.tar.gz 
[sudo] password for lubos: 
* installing to library ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
* installing *source* package ‘likelihood’ ...
** package ‘likelihood’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** R
** data
** demo
** preparing package for lazy loading
** help
*** installing help indices
** building package indices
** testing if installed package can be loaded

* DONE (likelihood)

NOTE: Be aware that some packages will require prerequisites. In that case use the above command to install prerequisites prior to your desired package.
