Hello,

I've just installed curl 7.9.3 on my RedHat Linux system (Kernel 2.2.19), with OpenSSL 0.9.6c, PHP 4.0.6 and Apache 1.3.23. All seemed to
compile fine - PHP reported curl installed happily and a brief test seemed to work ok.

However, now I've written a proper bit of code to use it (under libcurl in PHP) I'm getting domain resolution problems - it refuses to resolve
https://www.paypal.com (although it seems to have no trouble getting the page on the command line version of curl).

So I did a search through the archives and I see that this one has come up before but being a novice at all this I'm a bit baffled as to the fix.
Below are some config bits that seemed to crop up in the archive which may be relevant - can anyone suggest what's wrong and how to fix
it, bearing in mind I'm no expert at compiling or C or suchlike (I just follow the instructions and hope for the best...)?

$ cat config.log | grep gethostbyname_r
configure:10439: checking for gethostbyname_r
configure:10502: checking if gethostbyname_r takes 3 arguments
configure:10514: conflicting types for `gethostbyname_r'
