Response to: Location of fink packages
You'll only find the cURL application in /sw/bin/. (Well, also curl-config.) However, PHP uses other cURL files. They're installed by fink in /sw/lib, /sw/include, and other locations off of the /sw root. It's possible that PHP will work correctly if you pass in /sw/bin, but I still think you're better off using /sw. (I'd need to update my verion of cURL to test this.) But, if you're used to Linux, it's just like entering /usr/local. -adam

  It should be noted that the default version of curl in Jaguar is 7.7.? but PHP 4.3 "--with-curl" requires curl 7.8.2 (some docs say 7.9) or later so you need to compile curl yourself (not much of a stretch), or use Fink's curl package.
  
  If you compile curl yourself and want to write over Apple's installation, use
  curl --remote-name http://curl.hax.se/download/curl-7.10.3.tar.bz2
  bzip2 -dc curl-7.10.3.tar.bz2 | gnutar --extract
  pushd curl-7.10.3
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-static --enable-shared --with-ssl=/usr --with-zlib=/usr"
  make
  sudo make install
  popd
  rm -rf curl-7.10.3
  
  (i think that will work). BTW, you may want to run Disk Repair ", Repair Disk Permissions after the install (of curl and PHP both!) to change the binaries/libraries/etc to be writeable by group and belong to staff. :-)
  
  Take care,
