I'm planning on writing a command-line tool for Darwin that uses
libcurl and I am having a little trouble getting the "handle" from
the curl_easy_init() function.

Here's the code as I had it from the tutorial:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>
#include <curl/easy.h>

int main (void) {
     // insert code here...

CURL *handle;
CURLcode res;
handle = curl_easy_init();
if(handle) {
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_URL, "curl.haxx.se");
res = curl_easy_perform(handle);

/* always cleanup */
curl_easy_cleanup(handle);
}
return 0;
}

Building this in Xcode results in the following error:

curltest has exited due to signal 6 (SIGABRT).
[Session started at 2006-08-15 01:45:36 -0500.]
ZeroLink: unknown symbol '_curl_easy_init'

The following doesn't have the Zerolink error
but naturally complains:

main.c:10: error: 'handle' undeclared (first use in this function)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>
#include <curl/easy.h>

int main (void) {
     // insert code here...

CURL *curl_easy_init();
CURLcode res;
handle = curl_easy_init();
if(handle) {
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_URL, "curl.haxx.se");
res = curl_easy_perform(handle);

/* always cleanup */
curl_easy_cleanup(handle);
}
return 0;
}

Can anyone help me get a *handle* on this problem? :-O
