Description:
------------
php 7.2.2 configure fails with: 

checking for libcurl.pc... using /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc
checking for cURL 7.10.5 or greater... configure: error: cURL version 7.10.5 or later is required to compile php with cURL support

however I have curl  7.58.0 installed

# which curl
/usr/local/bin/curl
# curl -V
curl 7.58.0 (sparc-sun-solaris2.10) libcurl/7.58.0 OpenSSL/1.0.2n zlib/1.2.3
Release-Date: 2018-01-24
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz TLS-SRP UnixSockets HTTPS-proxy



this seems to be a difference in behavior in php 7.2.2 or php 7.x on Solaris 10.

 I am upgrading from 5.6 to 7.2.2

here is my configure command for 7.2.2 (same as I used successfully for 5.6)

configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache/lib --exec-prefix=$apache_dir --with
-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-openssl=/usr/local/apache/ssl --with-curl=/usr/local --enable-sockets --enable-ftp --enable-soap --without-pear --with-oci8=instantclient,/usr/local/instantclient_11_2 --with-pcre-regex=/usr/local --enable-opcache=no


To determine if this was new behavior with php 7 ,   I did a quick test configuring php 5.6.33 immediately afterward and the check for curl is successful as shown below:
 
checking for cURL support... yes
checking for cURL 7.10.5 or greater... libcurl 7.58.0
checking for SSL support in libcurl... yes



Test script:
---------------
export CC="/usr/local/bin/gcc"
export CFLAGS="-std=gnu99 -fPIC -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib"

rm config.cache

configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache/lib --exec-prefix=$apache_dir --with
-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-openssl=/usr/local/apache/ssl --with-curl=/usr/local --enable-sockets --enable-ftp --enable-soap --without-pear --with-oci8=instantclient,/usr/local/instantclient_11_2 --with-pcre-regex=/usr/local --enable-opcache=no

config.log 

configure:23235: checking whether to enable ctype functions
configure:23270: result: yes
configure:23538: checking for cURL support
configure:23574: result: yes

I am closing my own issue.  I determined the cause.   This is not a problem with PHP.   My file /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc had an invalid keyword in it that caused the test for in the PHP configure to fail.  

I changed configure to add --print-errors after $PKG_CONFIG to determine the cause.

 if $PKG_CONFIG --print-errors --atleast-version=7.10.5 $PKNAME; then

What is the invalid keyword you found in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc . I am having the same issue with php7.2.4 ans php7.2.6 and couldn't find anything wrong with libcurl.pc

Thanks for your suggestion to add --print-errors.
In my situation, it resolved by issuing `export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/` to let pkgconfig to find right libcurl.pc

For me the keyword that cause the problem in the libcurl.pc file was "URL".  I commented that out, and it worked.
