Thanks guys for all your help. I am using 64-bit linux Centos. The binaries were built with GCC 4.4.4.
I am not currently linking against libcurl. I am just linking against my own project. I am pretty sure the cause of the problem is that the symbols are not defined in the binaries produced. see below.

These are the undefined symbols I believe. Thanks again for all the help.
