    THANK YOU!

    I found your page listed # 9 in google with the following string:

    how to install Curl openssl whm cpanel

    I am running the following:

    cPanel 11.24.4-S35075 – WHM 11.24.2 – X 3.9
    REDHAT Enterprise 5.3 i686 standard on host

    So I figured out that I had to edit the commands you have just a bit

    This worked for me:
    ./configure prefix=/usr/local ssl=/usr/include/openssl

    After searching and asking many places I could not find a clear answer.

    Great resource!

    I tried this on my centos installation and it said that no suitable C compiler could be found in $PATH. I am wondering how to solve this, and what an acceptable C compiler would be anyway. Any tips? The config log says that it is checking for gcc, cc and cl.exe and it can’t find them. Mmm, what to do ???

    You can easily install GCC with this command:

    yum install gcc

    That would install GCC and its dependencies.
