I tried the urpmi solution but I think it only installs libcurl.so.3,
which I actually already had on the system. Still no libcurl.so.2
showing up.
I couldn't find curl-7.9.8 but I did find curl-7.10.6-1.src.rpm. Could
someone tell me how to make this src.rpm work because it appears to have
libcurl.so.2 contained in it. I tried installing like a regular rpm but
couldn't find that it did anything.
Thanks,

Matt:
If this is your own system and the application is not mission critical,
you might be able to get away with simply linking the new version of
libcurl.so to the old version. Libraries often remain compatible across
a single revision change. If they are not compatible, you'll usually
find that the application using the linked library immediately crashes.
I wouldn't do this for a product that I needed to deliver, or for
anything that has to be reliable. If it's a one-timer or something you
just want to try out, I'd give it a try.
