I'm trying to install pycurl onto a CentOS 5 machine and get failures.
I'm new to Python, but it seems that the easy_install package should
work. It worked great for the mysql bindings.
 
My error is relating to an Xlinker argument apparently. Here is the
output of easy_install:
 
 /opt/bcs/packages/python-modules-2.0/bin/easy_install-2.5 pycurl
Searching for pycurl
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/pycurl/
Reading http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/

Best match: pycurl 7.19.0
Downloading http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/download/pycurl-7.19.0.tar.gz

Using curl-config (libcurl 7.19.3)
gcc: argument to '-Xlinker' is missing
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit

So I tried to just download the pycurl package and install it myself
using this:
    python setup.py install
 
and get the same error with slightly more information
 
 python setup.py install

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
