Having trouble installing libcurl on Debian


I've downloaded libcurl from their site. Built and installed, however when I tried to compile an app I got:

In file included from /usr/local/include/curl/curl.h:34:0,
from curl-ip.cpp:1:
/usr/local/include/curl/curlbuild.h:151:9: error: 'socklen_t' does not name a type
In file included from /usr/local/include/curl/curl.h:35:0,
from curl-ip.cpp:1:
/usr/local/include/curl/curlrules.h:173:6: error: 'curl_socklen_t' was not declared in this scope
/usr/local/include/curl/curlrules.h:183:6: error: 'curl_socklen_t' was not declared in this scope

So I checked everything and I found that cmake found a lot of errors:
http://pastebin.com/cVX8n4eQ
Almost everything is "failed". ALso the required libs seem like windows libs. Is curl windows only?
Also I've tried a package from Debian repos and it is a big fail. I installed it and no libs. I opened the archive and there is only a doc or something, so the source is only option I think.

Solution : # apt-get install curl libcurl3


curl-7.28 is a version for the future.
Available in "Debian experimental rc-buggy"
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libcurl3
→ → Squeeze, Wheezy, Sid, etc.

libcurl comes with the curl command. I have a hard time believing there's no package for your Debian version. It's a standard Linux tool.
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=curl

Not sure why you are using cmake. The build instructions for curl say to use make. They are not compatible.

1) cmake is OK for version 7.28 (The "automake" files are included too.)

2) The required development packages :
a) Squeeze (choices) : libcurl4-gnutls-dev, libcurl4-openssl-dev
b) Wheezy : libcurl4-gnutls-dev, libcurl4-nss-dev, libcurl4-openssl-dev

I have had libcurl3 already. But I don't know where the libraries and headers are at (but does libcurl3 alone have any includes?). I need to know where's the library installed from libcurl3 package, so I will link it and I will use the headers from the source.

# 5 : "libcurl3" provides 'run time libraries' only.
Please use $ dpkg -L <package> , to see a file list : dpkg -L libcurl3
( /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3, /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4, /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4.2.0 )

The includes and other files required for app building are in the '-dev' packages:

libcurl4-gnutls-dev > http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libcurl4-gnutls-dev
> File list > http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i...s-dev/filelist

libcurl4-openssl-dev > http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libcurl4-openssl-dev
> File list > http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i...l-dev/filelist
