problem with libcurl on my centos machine

[zimu]

hey guys,

i'm having a really irritating problem with upgrading my transmissioncli. i'm currently on 1.06 which works but really want to jump up to 1.34.

now here's the problem. when i run ./configure i get the error:

checking for LIBCURL... Package libcurl was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libcurl.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libcurl' found
configure: error: Package requirements (libcurl >= 7.15.0) were not met:



Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

PKG_CONFIG_PATH is unset. if i do set this variable as /usr/local/lib/ or /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ (the latter of which has libcurl.pc, version 7.19.0) i get the same error.

please, any help?
