Michael, That's weird that configure doesn't catch that error. Can you check the configure.log for the bits about libcurl.
Also, first guess for the error is that you need to install the dev library from yum or whatever Fedora uses. Something like (been a long time since I used Fedore, you should probably use the search thing for libcurl to be sure) $ sudo yum install libcurl-dev HTH, Paul On Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 1:34 PM, Michael Ramirez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am having some issues install CouchDB on my Fedora box.
