I recently updated my system to Mint-KDE 16, and when I want to compile gretl I get "Please install libcurl ..." However, I already have libcurl since running, "sudo apt-get install libcurl3" says I have the recent version. I thought maybe I need the dev package but could not see anything like libcurl3-dev.

Also, saying "--without-gnome" during configure gives "unrecognized options: --without-gnome" Since this is changed now, are there other new things to be careful about? More specifically, what would be a good configure command for 64 bit Linux Mint KDE? (For a long time I have been using "./configure --prefix=/opt/gretl --without-gnome")

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.
