Hi Dirk, thanks for your reply.

I'm compiling with ssh because the instructions that I found that seemed the most extensive also involved compiling ssh; plus since I don't really know what ssh is I figured it might be useful! But really the former: I didn't want to deviate from instructions because of the debugging involved(since I don't really know what I'm doing step-by-step).

As you can see from my post I've added the libcurl library, or at least I believe I have! in fact, simply moving back to the curl 7.2.1 that I originally compiled my code bulds and runs fine so I think it must be some error with my compiliation of libcurl. But of course I still don't have SSL! which I believe I need?

Thanks,

C
