  it's a permission issue. more than likely /usr/local is owned by root and I'm assuming you're trying to make install as a normal user.

    installing stunnel did the trick, but now when i run 'make install' it generates these errors...

      Do you have stunnel installed? The test suite uses stunnel for the SSL tests. Without it, the test suite doesn't even try to check the SSL functions.

      Your original curl compilation may have been just fine. When you run ./configure, check the stream of messages for lines like this:

          checking for OpenSSL options using pkg-config... no
          checking for CRYPTO_lock in -lcrypto... yes
          checking for CRYPTO_add_lock in -lcrypto... yes
          checking for SSL_connect in -lssl... yes
          checking openssl/x509.h usability... yes
          checking openssl/x509.h presence... yes

      and a bunch of of "checking openssl/...." lines. If there's a lot of "yes"s, curl will be built with SSL.

      Once it's built, try this:

          curl https://your.secure.server/

      and see if you get a page back. If you do, never mind the tests not working - worry about that later...

        I am having a difficult time installing curl on my server. Here are my issues...

        I run...

        ./configure
        make
        make test

        which gives me this error...

        TESTDONE: 140 tests out of 140 reported OK: 100%
        TESTDONE: 156 tests were considered.
        TESTINFO: 16 tests were skipped due to these restraints:
        TESTINFO: "no SSL-capable server" 11 times (300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305,
        306, 400, 401, 402, 403)
        TESTINFO: "lacks netrc_debug" 5 times (130, 131, 132, 133, 134)
        make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/share/curl-7.10.7/tests'

        I noticed the 'no SSL-capable server' so i ran it with './configure --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl' which gave same errors then tried './configure --with-ssl=/usr/local' still didnt work. i know openssl is working as my ssl server is running fine. I ran 'which openssl' and that produced '/usr/local/bin/openssl' so then I tried './configure --with-ssl=/usr/local/bin/openssl' and that gave me a whole bunch more errors. I really need this installed as soon as possible and I could really use some help on getting this installed. Please help! Thanks.
