Hi,

it's my first try and that's what I did :

git clone git://github.com/taf2/curb.git
cd curb
rake gem
cd pkg/
gem install curb-0.2.7.2.gem
...
"and here I got the following errors" :
...
...
checking for curle_tftp_exists... yes

Here are some system configs :

[~/]# which curl
/usr/bin/curl

Any help will be greatly apreciated

What version of libcurl do you have installed?  If it's less then 7.15.4, it won't compile, see: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_multi_setopt.html availability section.  If that is the case, we can add some configuration checks in extconf.rb to test for that version and either disable the features... or not start the build...
