Description:
------------
PHP-5.2.6 compilation using the --with-curl parameter end with...

##
checking for cURL support... yes
checking if we should use cURL for url streams... no
checking for cURL in default path... found in /usr
checking for cURL 7.10.5 or greater... libcurl 7.15.5
checking for SSL support in libcurl... yes
checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E
checking for openssl support in libcurl... no
checking for gnutls support in libcurl... no
checking for curl_easy_perform in -lcurl... no
configure: error: There is something wrong. Please check config.log for more information.
##

However without using the --with-curl everything compiles fine.

Reproduce code:
---------------
1. got php-5.2.6.tar.bz2
2. used this configuration parameters

CFLAGS='-O3' \
'./configure' \
'--disable-debug' \
'--with-libdir=/lib64' \
'--prefix=/usr/local' \
'--enable-bcmath' \
'--enable-calendar' \
'--with-gd' \
'--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' \
'--with-png-dir=/usr' \
'--with-gettext' \
'--with-mysqli' \
'--with-mysql=/usr' \
'--with-pear' \
'--with-mcrypt' \
'--enable-sockets' \
'--with-ttf' \
'--with-freetype-dir=/usr' \
'--enable-gd-native-ttf' \
'--with-zlib' \
'--disable-ipv6' \
'--disable-cli' \
'--enable-magic-quotes' \
'--enable-discard-path' \
'--enable-force-cgi-redirect' \
'--enable-fastcgi' \
'--with-openssl' \
'--with-curl' \
"$@"


3. compilation fails.


Expected result:
----------------
PHP compiles with curl support.

Actual result:
--------------
checking for cURL support... yes
checking if we should use cURL for url streams... no
checking for cURL in default path... found in /usr
checking for cURL 7.10.5 or greater... libcurl 7.15.5
checking for SSL support in libcurl... yes
checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E
checking for openssl support in libcurl... no
checking for gnutls support in libcurl... no
checking for curl_easy_perform in -lcurl... no
configure: error: There is something wrong. Please check config.log for more information.

I would guess it's caused by this wrong line:
'--with-libdir=/lib64' \

But if you had bothered doing what configure tells you to, you would propably have found out yourself. No bug here.

I do the /lib64 to avoid some previous compilation errors on x86_64 machines on other machines so supposing that you are right, I did the configuration without this parameter and I got the same output.

Also here's a link to the paste of the config.log file http://pastebin.com/m45f78efd

One thing to mention, I did what the error message told me and opened the config.log file and I think it's something related with libcurl and openssl support but I got the rpms installed on my systems and fetched them to find that libcurl is compiled with openssl support, May be I am wrong in that but the config.log output would clear things out to you.

Now happens to be that the system came with wrong mix of package installations as it was having many *-devel.i386 and *-libs.i386 although it is an x86_64, I fixed this mixture specially e2fsprogs-libs and libidn-devel and recompiled to find everything went smooth.
