as Daniel already suggested you should start with something simpler;
and there's much stuff to learn when dealing with external libraries;
so you should try to start with building zlib self from sources since that's a very simple lib which is known to compile fine for almost any platform. Also its important to know that there are a lot of MSVC compilers, and its not guarantied that libraries (DLLs) build with other MSVC versions run properly with your sample; therefore it is recommended to build everything self - and that's no problem since you have a compiler - its only a matter of reading the docu; so I'd suggest that you start with zlib, read and follow the docu, and compile both static and dynamic (DLL) libs; and then next it might be a good idea to build libcurl from source to...

Anyway, that said you can try the MSVC6 build from my site:
http://www.gknw.net/mirror/zlib/

and test if that works with the devel package you downloaded;
did you download the devel package from the curl download page?

Guenter.
