Hello,
I just switched from fedora to Ubuntu linux. I am trying to compile bzflag and the server stuff but the ./configure file does not find libcurl. Any ideas?
checking for curl >= 7.10.0... ./configure: line 19763: curl-config: command not found
FAILED
configure: WARNING: curl-config was not found
configure: error: libcurl is required. You must install it. See http://curl.haxx.se/
Thanks for your reply,
Reintalling did not help. I think it could have something to do with the ./autogen.sh thing becuase originally I had to install each autoconf thing one by one untill it stoped yelling at me. here is what autogen.sh does now.
Found GNU Autoconf version 2.59
Found GNU Automake version 1.9.0
Found GNU Libtool version 1.5.6

The BZFlag build system is now prepared. To build here, run:
./configure
make
wow ubuntu has like 2 jillion ways to install something and tons of versions. I just found a libcurl with headers and dev stuff. so now it passes the curl stuff. ARGH! but theres no SDL curses of client binary!
You need curl-dev, SDL-dev, and the dev package for whatever opengl you're using (mesa usually). If you want to use bzadmin you'll want ncurses-dev also.
