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
