How to Install cURL on PHP5 on a remote Server

I am trying to install cURL on a remote server through my Mac, but for some reason I am unable to do so.

Here are the steps I followed:-

  1. ssh'ed the remote server
  2. wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.14.0.tar.gz
  3. zcat curl-7.14.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -
  4. cd curl-7.14.0/

  5. make (gave me the error:- (as followed))

    ./configure
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for sed... /usr/bin/sed
checking for ar... ar
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking curl version... 7.14.0
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** [all] Error 1

  6. make install (gave me the error)

    make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

Could you guys assist me in this? I just have to install cURL on my server. I also tried running sudo apt-get install php5-curl but it gave me error that apt-get doesn't exist.

Based on our convo and the fact that you are using SUSE, it looks like you can simply use Zypper (package manager) to install it. Try the following command:

zypper install php5-curl

Then, restart apache.

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
