Can't find libcurl or curl/curl.h (RuntimeError)

curb, curl, ruby, ruby-on-rails, rubygems

Solution

The `curb` gem requires `libcurl`, something that is related to, but different from `curl`. It's the library that `curl` is built with. That missing file is part of the development version of cURL.

Problem

I am trying to install curb 0.8.0 on a Windows computer but I can not seem to get anywhere. I have been trying every website 3 pages deep on my Google search. Please, anyone have an idea of how I can get this single thing installed. I have downloaded curl and extracted it to C:\curl. I have added it to my path and am running the command: ``` gem install curb -- --with-curl-lib=C:\curl\bin --with-curl-include=C:\curl\include ``` But it doesn't work. I keep getting the same error. Any suggestions?
