c++ curl

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

c++ 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

c++ curl

Instead of downloading curl, down libcurl.

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