When I execute 'whereis curl' I see this: curl: /usr/bin/curl /usr/bin/X11/curl /usr/local/bin/curl /usr/include/curl /usr/share/man/man1/curl.1.gzĭo I need to copy the newer CURL files into those directories? Is there a document that tells me how so that I don't create a mess trying to arbitrarily move files around myself?Īlso, I'm a bit worried that using this manually built version may have SSL problems since 14.04 has old SSL libraries that can't be upgraded. My guess is that although I have a newer version of curl now, it's files are not in the right place. However, when I run 'curl -version' I still see 7.3.5. I then ran it from that same directory and everything downloaded, built, and configure without error. I created a shell script in that directory that had the above script as its contents. I created a directory off of my home directory named 'curl-update'. # location caches ('shared library cache') # The usual steps for building an app from source # Get latest (as of Feb 25, 2016) libcurl # Install any build dependencies needed for curl I found this gist that gives a shell script to fetch and build CURL 7.50.2 from source: I need at least version 7.4 to install homebrew. I did an 'apt update' and then 'sudo apt install curl' and it tells me that the version I have installed, version 7.3.5, is already the latest.

I have a particular box that is running Ubuntu 14.04 and can't be upgraded.
