Curl development headers with SSL support for Phusion Passenger 3

Question

I'm trying to install phusion passenger nginx module, but it fails

# passenger-install-nginx-module

* Curl development headers with SSL support... not found

...

yum install curl-devel

Setting up Install Process
Package curl-devel-7.15.5-9.el5.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package curl-devel-7.15.5-9.el5.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

What else needs to be done?
I use: CentOS 5.2, Phusion Passenger version 3.0.0, nginx/0.8.53

# gcc -v

Solution

yum install libcurl-devel

Does the curl-devel package install headers with SSL support? That would be one explanation of the error. Another might be that the package installed the libraries into a directory passenger-install-nginx-module isn't checking, e.g. /usr/local/lib rather than /usr/lib, but I don't rate that possibility very high.

> It is actually libcurl-dev instead of libcurl-devel. is that for Debian (Debian-like) systems? The poster is asking about CentOS

At least on my system, CentOS 6, with the repos I have installed, it's libcurl-devel. Didn't fix my problem, but still... :)

This is a Cent OS related question and Cent OS uses yum as default, not apt-get. Also, this question has accepted answer from 2010, so this isn't adding any value at all.
