None of these will allow you to compile PHP with cURL enabled.

In order to compile with cURL, you need libcurl header files (.h files). They are usually found in /usr/include/curl. They generally are bundled in a separate development package.

Per example, to install libcurl in Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev

Or CentOS:

sudo yum install curl-devel

Then you can just do:

./configure --with-curl # other options...

If you compile cURL manually, you can specify the path to the files without the lib or include suffix. (e.g.: /usr/local if cURL headers are in /usr/local/include/curl).

If you re going to compile a 64bit version x86 64  of php use    usr lib64   For architectures  i386     i686  use  usr lib   I recommend compiling php to the same architecture as apache  As you re using a 64bit linux i asume your apache is also compiled for x86 64

php curl lib is just a wrapper of cUrl  so  first of all  you should install cUrl  Download the cUrl source to your linux server  Then  use the follow commands to install   tar zxvf cUrl src taz cd cUrl src taz   configure --prefix  curl install home make make test     optional  make install ln -s   curl install home bin curl-config  usr bin curl-config   Then  copy the head files in the   curl install home include   to   usr local include     After all above steps done  the php curl extension configuration could find the original curl  and you can use the standard php extension method to install php curl  Hope it helps you

For Ubuntu 17 0     Adding to  netcoder answer above   If you are using Ubuntu 17   installing libcurl header files is half of the solution  The installation path in ubuntu 17 0  is different than the installation path in older Ubuntu version  After installing libcurl  you will still get the  cURL not found  error  You need to perform one extra step  as suggested by  minhajul in the OP comment section    Add a symlink in  usr include of the cURL installation folder  cURL installation path in Ubuntu 17 0 4 is  usr include x86 64-linux-gnu curl     My server was running Ubuntu 17 0 4  the commands to enable cURL support were  sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev   Then create a link to cURL installation  cd  usr include sudo ln -s x86 64-linux-gnu curl

Try just --with-curl  without specifying a location  and see if it ll find it by itself
