I urgently need a working library of libcurl. The curl website doesn't have it, they have the Windows version, but the Mac link keeps sending me here: http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/packa...ibcurl4-shlibs.

They're telling you to install it with Fink. Mac OS X has two main third party package managers (Apple doesn't even provide one themselves): Fink and MacPorts. The former offers precompiled binaries for some of the packages, but the software tends to be outdated. The latter only supports source installs, but the software tends to be more current. Neither is very good, which is one of the reasons why I switched to Linux. Anyway, you can just install libcurl from source code...
oh, is that what that is? Ok, I installed it. What the fuck do I do with it? It didn't install any applications, it ran the installer, but I don't see any way to download the libcurl source.
Run `apt-get install libcurl4' from a root shell iirc. So you could open Terminal.app and type `sudo apt-get install libcurl4'.
OS X uses Apt?
I am out of touch....
Ynot, Fink doesn't use the same packages as Debian, but they ported the apt-get tool (not the APT packages) to Mac OS X a long time ago.
