   You probably need to be root when doing the last command.

   If you have checked out the sources from the CVS repository, read the
   CVS-INFO on how to proceed.

   If you want to install curl in a different file hierarchy than /usr/local,
   you need to specify that already when running configure:

        ./configure --prefix=/path/to/curl/tree

   If you happen to have write permission in that directory, you can do 'make
   install' without being root. An example of this would be to make a local
   install in your own home directory:

        ./configure --prefix=$HOME
        make
        make install

   The configure script always tries to find a working SSL library unless
   explicitly told not to. If you have OpenSSL installed in the default search
   path for your compiler/linker, you don't need to do anything special. If

   KNOWN PROBLEMS (these ones should not happen anymore)

     If you happen to have autoconf installed, but a version older than 2.12
     you will get into trouble. Then you can still build curl by issuing these
     commands (note that this requires curl to be built staticly): (from Ralph
     Beckmann)

       ./configure [...]
       cd lib; make; cd ..
       cd src; make; cd ..
       cp src/curl elsewhere/bin/

     As suggested by David West, you can make a faked version of autoconf and
     autoheader:

       ----start of autoconf----
       #!/bin/bash
       #fake autoconf for building curl
       if [ "$1" = "--version" ] then
         echo "Autoconf version 2.13"
       fi
       ----end of autoconf----

     Then make autoheader a symbolic link to the same script and make sure
     they're executable and set to appear in the path *BEFORE* the actual (but
     obsolete) autoconf and autoheader scripts.
