AccountBalance fails on linux

[kirstin-rhys]

Note that this is apparently due to a bug in RCurl on linux, for example,

install_github(repo="MTurkR", username="leeper")

produces the same error.

R> AccountBalance() Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) :

Did you load your AWS API Access Key ID and Secret Key via either credentials() or setting them manually with options?

[kirstin-rhys]

via credentials.

This could be a libcurl nss issue:

Okay, I will leave this open for the time being but it sounds like it's a lower-level issue and not something I can address in MTurkR.
