This is because, as said before, the dynamic lib isn't found by the linker at
run-time.

You can do either way.

That is your lib path.

Almost, set it like

# setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /u/me/lib

(unless it already is set to something, it might be a colon-separated list of
directories)

No, that is resolved at run-time. Just set the variable an run curl again.

Static as opposed to dynamic means that the library and the executable are
linked together into one chunk. It removes the run-time linkage, although if
many programs use the same lib it creates unnecessary big programs (among
other drawbacks).
