Hi,

In the file README.packages we have an old entry for Linux Mint which is the same as Ubuntu:
Linux Mint 12          (contrib. 2012-02-26)
Ubuntu oneiric (11.10) (contrib. 2012-06-10, helio_guilherme@hotmail.com)
# dependencies
sudo apt-get install gnuplot libfftw3-dev liblapack-dev gfortran libxml2 \
 zlib1g-dev libreadline-gplv2-dev libgtksourceview2.0-dev libgmp3-dev curl \
 libcurl4-gnutls-dev


It would try libcurl4-gnutls-dev.

Helio

Thanks very much for your prompt answer Prof Cottrell.

I can see in the repo 3 packages named libcurl4-gnuts-dev,
libcurl4-nss-dev and libcurl4-openssl-dev

Is it possible that one of these is the required package? I don't want
to break something.
