this is what I type, but I don't fully understand it... why do I need to install libcurl dev and php dev? Is there a simpler way to install it or another module in php?
PHP-DEV includes some development packages for PHP. SO, OAuth might be requiring some development modules to work with PHP. Hence, it was asking you to install these dependency modules.
blue print: yeah, I was trying to install the OAuth module on PHP but now I'm not sure as I've seen that usually people just copy the oauth.php file into the directory instead of using it as module...
Its ok. But, PHP should know OAuth mechanism right?
Like in Apache, we are loading PHP as a module so that Apache can server the PHP pages. Same like, PHP should load the OAuth module so that the setup will work.
