Hi,

I am attempting to install PycURL under Cygwin. My first attempt failed
because Cygwin's cURL version was too old. So I downloaded the cURL
source and built it from scratch, then told Cygwin to uninstall it's
version to avoid confusion.

When I run the build/install script, everything looks fine (output
below). It's picked up curl-config and appears to be using it:
/usr/local/lib/libcurl.a looks fine.

However, when I try to run the examples:

$ python basicfirst.py
Fatal Python error: pycurl: libcurl link-time version is older than
compile-time version
Aborted (core dumped)

Furthermore: using depends to examine the build I see a dependency on
cygcurl-4.dll, which I don't understand since "cygcurl" is nowhere in
the configure scripts and isn't coming from curl-config.

Could someone shed some light on the problem?
Best Regards,
Chris
