Those install instructions are broken and dangerous. The "make install"
command is going to fail without an "sudo", and with a sudo, it will wipe out
the distribution-provided libcurl package which could destabilize the
whole system (depending on what compile options were used in the system
libcurl). What the instructions should show instead is how to build
libcurl in a private directory and have mysql-udf-http use that version.

The problem you're seeing is probably related to mixing the system and
private versions of libcurl on the same system. I don't know anything about
building mysql-udf-http, but what you'll probably find more successful is to
skip the libcurl-building step of the instructions you point to and just
install a binary RPM of a recent pre-built version of libcurl
instead. The curl download wizard at http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz/ will
direct you to a libcurl package appropriate to your platform (there
are RHEL5 packages available, for example). Then try continuing the
instructions after the libcurl-building step and see if you have better
luck.
