Generally you have two choices:

1) Install it as a RPM package. You can try to build RPM yourself from using
a SRPM package.

2) Install the upstream version directly (independently on your distro) - in
this case its highly recommended to configure with --prefix=/usr/local to
avoid clash with the files managed by rpm. You can follow the instructions
here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/install.html
