Redhat uses the RPM system. To install curl with SSL, you need to do something
like this:

1. download the correct curl RPM files (from here):

   http://curl.haxx.se/latest.cgi?curl=ssl-i386.rpm
   http://curl.haxx.se/latest.cgi?curl=ssl-devel-i386.rpm

   This is both the curl package and the curl-devel one. For the PHP stuff I
   believe only the curl-devel is actually required.

2. download the OpenSSL RPM:

http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/rawhide/1.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/openssl-0.9.7a-16.i686.html

3. install them:

  a. su -
  b. rpm -i openssl.rpm curl.rpm curl-devel.rpm

4. done

This is actually not a question that is much related to curl. If you need more
help on these issues, I suggest you post further questions in a Linux/Redhat
related forum.
