Thanks Dan. We found out that we did not have the libcurl.a in the
usr/lib directory. As soon as we moved it, the program ran
successfully.

I sounds like that program is dynamically linked to libcurl.so.2 so
you're
on the right track. If there is a libcurl.so.2 file on the machine
already
(somewhere), you may just need to point the dynamic loader to the
directory
containing it. I'm not sure how to do that in AIX.

The install.html only applies to source distributions, not binary
distributions. Installing a binary archive is dependent on which
package
you're installing. The UCLA AIX binary appears to be a standard
compressed
tarball, but doesn't include the libcurl.so file. The Written Word
binary
contains a .bff file which is probably an AIX-specific packaging format.
If
you can't make sense of that, then just download the source archive and
follow the install.html instructions to make your own dynamic library.
