How to install CURL on Debian Squeeze?

Question

I just can't get CURL to install on Debian Squeeze... keeps giving me this:

libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../include/curl -I../include -I../include -I../lib -I../lib -g0 -O2 -Wno-system-headers -MT tftp.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/tftp.Tpo -c tftp.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o tftp.o >/dev/null 2>&1
mv -f .deps/socks.Tpo .deps/socks.Plo
mv -f .deps/multi.Tpo .deps/multi.Plo
mv -f .deps/tftp.Tpo .deps/tftp.Plo
mv -f .deps/url.Tpo .deps/url.Plo
make[2]: Leaving directory '/root/hiphop-deb/curl-7.21.1/lib'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/hiphop-deb/curl-7.21.1/lib'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Any ideas?

Note: I have to build it from source as it is the patched version for use by HipHop-PHP.

Solution

Use apt-get:

sudo apt-get install curl

Sorry, I should have explained, it has to be from source because it's patched (which is not the cause of the problem.)

Your snippet doesn't seem to show the exact cause of the error, try posting a bit more and the command you ran.

The trailing “>/dev/null 2>&1” is probably something to do with the lack of diagnostics!
