I want to use curl to download files from a sftp server and if I am reading the documentation correctly, curl needs libssh2.

The curl version installed in OS X 10.9.4:
    curl 7.30.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.0) libcurl/7.30.0 SecureTransport zlib/1.2.5
    Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp
    Features: AsynchDNS GSS-Negotiate IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz

As there is no libbssh2, I installed libssh2-1.4.3 and now I have new folders and various libssh2 files in /usr/local.

I guessed that I would have to install a new version of curl that includes libbssh2.
From the documentation I expect this curl to install in /usr/local, which would seem to match well with my libssh2 install.

I ran the command ./configure --with-darwinssl --with-libssh2
and got this error:
    configure: error: libSSH2 libs and/or directories were not found where specified

I didn’t specify where to find "libSSH2 libs and/or directories”, assuming that /usr/local would be the default.
Neither the output nor the config.log indicate where configure was looking.

How do I fix this?

Am I on the right track anyway?
