I have tried compiling the curl 7.7 beta 5 under RedHat 7 and
even though it compiles it doesn't work, for example:

[Andres_at_Shire src]$ ./curl -I Shire.Asturias.es
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'Shire.Asturias.es'

where Shire.Asturias.es is my own computer, yet if
I do:

[Andres_at_Shire src]$ ./curl -I 127.0.0.1
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

I have installed version 7.6.1 from the rpm package and it works
in both cases, but then I tried to compile it myself and again it
can't resolve hosts.

I also compiled the beta in debian and there it worked fine.

Anyone knows what is going on?
