curl.h no such file or directory

~~sudo apt-get install curl-devel~~

sudo apt-get install libcurl-dev

(will install the default alternative)

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

(the OpenSSL variant)

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev

(the gnutls variant)

Instead of downloading curl, down libcurl.

curl is just the application, libcurl is what you need for your C++ program

http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/curl

To those who use centos and have stumbled upon this post :

 $ yum install curl-devel

and when compiling your program example.cpp, link to the curl library:

 $ g++ example.cpp -lcurl -o example

"-o example" creates the executable example instead of the default a.out.

The next line runs example:

 $ ./example
