libcurl.so.2

[mike]

I downloaded that rpm and let file roller do it's thing. no errors or 
anything.
so i went back to install my program.rpm and let file roller handle that 
and again with the libcurl.so.2 error

other suggestion was to go with progr.src.rpm installation which is ok 
but i didnt' quite know what to type in command line to make that work. 
no installation instructions from the site.

i tried #rpm -ivh program.src.rpm but i'm sure that wasn't right as it 
didn't work.

what should i type please?

in the end i untarred a file then ./configure , make , su, make install. 
and all is well for the drivel program.

but still i'd like to be able to use rpms as synaptic makes my life so 
easy.

thanks,

mike h
