Fixing libcurl Configuration Error | Generated by AI
This error means the configure script is trying to find libcurl (a library for HTTP/HTTPS requests), but it cannot locate curl-config — a helper binary that tells where libcurl is installed.
Here’s how to fix it depending on your system:
🧩 For Ubuntu / Debian
Run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev
Then try again:
./configure
🧩 For Fedora / CentOS / RHEL
Run:
sudo dnf install libcurl-devel
🧩 For Arch / Manjaro
Run:
sudo pacman -S curl
🔍 To verify installation
After installation, make sure curl-config is available:
which curl-config
If it returns a path like /usr/bin/curl-config, you’re good.
Then rerun:
./configure
make
sudo make install
Would you like me to explain what curl-config actually does and why configure needs it?
