Install pyCurl in ActivePython-2.6?
I have worked with pyCurl in the past and have it working with my system default python install. However, I have a project that requires python to be more portable and I am using ActivePython-2.6.
I have had no problems installing any other modules so far, but am getting errors installing pyCurl. The error:
Searching for pycurl

Exception: `curl-config' not found -- please install the libcurl development files
My system does have libcurl installed, but ActivePython doesn't seem to find it.
Any ideas will help!

Depends: libc6
Depends: libcurl3-gnutls
Depends: libgcrypt11
Depends: python2.7
Depends: python
Depends: python
Suggests: libcurl4-gnutls-dev
Suggests: python-pycurl-dbg
Conflicts: <python2.3-pycurl>
Conflicts: <python2.3-pycurl:i386>
Conflicts: <python2.4-pycurl>
Conflicts: <python2.4-pycurl:i386>
Replaces: <python2.3-pycurl>
