Re: Difference in libcurl.so.3 and libcurl.so.4

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the reply. Say if I use libcurl.so.4 (latest) on my build system
and I try to run the application on a machine which still has only
libcurl.so.3. In that case it will be necessary to update libcurl to so.4 on
the user system to successfully run the application ?
Thanks
