Could NOT find CURL (missing: CURL_LIBRARY CURL_INCLUDE_DIR) with CMAKE_C_COMPILER_RANLIB:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/gcc-ranlib

Question

I follow the installation facter

and I downloaded the latest version 3.9.6 tar.gz package.

but I get the below error:

[root@localhost release]# cmake ..
-- Could NOT find CURL (missing: CURL_LIBRARY CURL_INCLUDE_DIR)
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:69 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindLeatherman.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project
  has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
  "Leatherman", but CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Leatherman" with
  any of the following names:

    LeathermanConfig.cmake
    leatherman-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Leatherman" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Leatherman_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "Leatherman" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
  been installed.

[root@localhost release]#

the CMakeLists.txt:69 is:

CMAKE_C_COMPILER_RANLIB:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/gcc-ranlib

I have curl in my CentOS 7.2 server,

[root@localhost release]# curl --version
curl 7.29.0 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.29.0 NSS/3.36 zlib/1.2.7 libidn/1.28 libssh2/1.4.3

and I have tried install libcurl4-openssl-dev but there is no package:

yum  install libcurl4-openssl-dev -y
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirrors.aliyun.com
 * extras: mirrors.aliyun.com
 * updates: mirrors.aliyun.com
No package libcurl4-openssl-dev available.
Error: Nothing to do

Answer 1

Centos uses a different package name. The Debian/Ubuntu package name is libcurl4-openssl-dev. However, libcurl-devel on CentOS provides the same files and more. Try this instead:

sudo yum install libcurl-devel 

Also, you can search for available packages like in this example:

yum search libcurl
