I think you need to have curl-config installed. I had a similar
problem on Ubuntu and found the program in various packages:.
$ apt-file search curl-config | grep bin
libcurl4-gnutls-dev: /usr/bin/curl-config
libcurl4-nss-dev: /usr/bin/curl-config
libcurl4-openssl-dev: /usr/bin/curl-config
I think that installing any one of them would probably fix the
problem. I think I used the "openssl" one.
