compiled curl

[jechilt]

I have this requirement for software I want to use:
<snip>
- compiled curl (command line no longer supported)
<end snip>

sorry for having to even ask...but what exactly is "compiled curl"?
I just don't get it...
When I do a check on the system, I get this:

[root@ns root]# curl -V
curl 7.12.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.12.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7a zlib/1.2.1
Protocols: ftp gopher telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
Features: Largefile NTLM SSL libz

Because of the bit about the command line, I think it's reffering to curl support compiled with php, which is done by customapache by default.
phpinfo(); should tell you if it's supported or not.

this is what I have in my phpinfo under "configure command":

--with-curl' '--with-curl-dir=/usr/local/lib'

Because I dont know what "compiled curl" means, I am just a confused pup

Further down the page then it should have something like the picture I have attached. If so, curl should be compiled.

yes sir, I have that on the page too

Thanks for the info and help!
