Hi guys,

i tried to add curl support to my php-4.3.11, and now with new
php-4.4.0, and i can't finish ./configure.
i run debian woody with some backports (curl and libcurl are one of them).

command line:
../configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-curl
[and other --with]

here is the result:
[...]
checking for CURL support... yes
checking for CURL in default path... found in /usr
checking for cURL 7.9.8 or greater... configure: error: cURL version
7.9.8 or later is required to compile php with cURL support

21:09 ulyze php-4.4.0% curl --version
curl 7.13.2 (i386-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.13.2 OpenSSL/0.9.6c zlib/1.1.4
Protocols: ftp gopher telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
Features: IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz

as you can see, my curl is recent enough.
one would say that ./configure compares versions as strings, and
obviously 7.9xx < 7.1xx !

what's the problem ?
shall i forget the use of curl ? :)
