I strongly advice against doing that. dlopening a versioned library such as
libcurl will lead to breakage sooner or later. And it is rarely any benefit.

I'd say that's one of the most ugly forms of typecast you can do. But forgive
me if I misunderstood something here, that line doesn't _call_
curl_easy_perform() it just looks it up, right?

So where is the call to curl_easy_perform() ?

And besides that, you should consider using a debug version of the library so
that you get full symbols and everything for when you try to debug it.
