This is probably because the Redhat you installed originally put curl in
/usr/bin/curl while the 'make install' you made put curl in
/usr/local/bin/curl.

And since you have /usr/bin before /usr/local/bin in your $PATH, you will
still see the former curl installation!

You can solve this in three ways:

 1. Re-install over the existing:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr
    make clean
    make
    make install

 2. Change your PATH to have /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin

 3. Remove (or rename) curl from /usr/bin.
