Trouble installing PECL_HTTP

[stereoworld]

Hi all :-)

Just a question about a pecl module I'm having trouble installing

I'm trying to install pecl_http on WHM. I go into Module Installers > PHP Pecl and then select PECL_HTTP.

I'm getting the following error message when trying to attempt it:

    checking for curl/curl.h... not found
    configure: error: could not find curl/curl.h
    ERROR: `/root/tmp/pear/pecl_http/configure --with-http-curl-requests --with-http-zlib-     compression --with-http-magic-mime=no --with-http-shared-deps' failed
    The pecl_http.so object is not in /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613
    Tidying /usr/local/lib/php.ini...
    No changes
    Tidying /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini...
    No changes

I've tried a couple of solutions. One was to dive into the installation folder and create a symlink for something (following a posted solution) and another was to install a couple of libcurl extensions, although I can't find them.

I can manage linux servers to an extent, although this is right over my head.

Can anyone help?

Cheers, Tom
