Greets!

I'm having some trouble installing curl on one of Pair Networks'
(a shared server webhosting company) secure servers.

It looks like the 'configure' app calls chmod or chown, neither
of which I have permission to use.

Can anyone think of a workaround? Right now, after 'configure'
finishes, the program has run all its checks, but doesn't install
into the /curl folder I specify. If it's just a matter of
knowing which files to put where after the installation is done,
I can do that kind of thing manually, but I'm worried that more
is being missed.

Here's the output of my configure results:
