Most certainly not. Just fire away!

When you install curl, however you do that, you should get a tool named
'curl-config' installed as well and that should be in your path. That tool
outputs information about the libcurl installation.

The PHP configure script correctly tries to run curl-config to figure out
where libcurl is in your system, but for some reason it fails.

Are you saying that you install the curl binaries from rpm but you don't get
the curl-config tool? Ah, perhaps you need the -devel RPM?

No, I can't see that!

I think this indicates some problem with your glibc/gcc combination or
something. I personally build curl on several different Linux boxes very
frequently, and I've never seen this happen. In fact, Linux is probably the
most commonly used machine by people who build curl from source and this has
not been reported before!
