title: curl: (2) Failed Initialization
body: <p>I have installed libcurl 7.33.0 on Linux. I used the following commands to install:</p>
  
  <pre><code>./configure  
  make  
  make install
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I run <code>curl http://www.google.com</code> I get following error:
  <strong>curl: (2) Failed initialization</strong></p>
  
  <p>curl is installed at /usr/local/bin and header files at /usr/local/include/curl.</p>
  
  <p>curl-config:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>sandesh@ubuntu:~$ curl-config --features  
  IPv6  
  libz  
  sandesh@ubuntu:~$ curl-config --protocols  
  DICT  
  FILE  
  FTP  
  GOPHER    
  HTTP  
  IMAP  
  POP3  
  RTSP  
  SMTP  
  TELNET  
  TFTP  
  sandesh@ubuntu:~$ curl-config --ca  
  /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt  
  sandesh@ubuntu:~$ curl-config --cflags  
  -I/usr/local/include  
  sandesh@ubuntu:~$ curl-config --configure  
  
  sandesh@ubuntu:~$ curl-config --libs  
  -L/usr/local/lib -lcurl  
  sandesh@ubuntu:~$ curl-config --static-libs  
  /usr/local/lib/libcurl.a -lz -lrt  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I believe it is something to do with my configuration.</p>
