On most linux distrbutions, there are both the package and the devel packages. On my SuSE system, there exists a curl as well as a curl-devel package. Typically, you will need to curl-devel packages for compiling with PHP. In your particular case, since you took the source of curl and built it yourself, you probably did a 'make install'. It could, by default, on install runtime components, it may not have installed the header files, which may be what PHP is looking for. Check to see if there is an option to install the curl-devel equivalent or look into the configure script to see exactly what PHP is checking for the existence of curl. -- Christopher Chan SpikeSource, Inc.
