curl.h no such file or directory
C++CurlC++ Problem Overview
I installed curl this command (i use Ubuntu):
sudo apt-get install curl
When I test simple program using g++ test.cpp
#include <stdio.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl;
CURLcode res;
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
/* Perform the request, res will get the return code */
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
/* Check for errors */
if(res != CURLE_OK)
fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n",
curl_easy_strerror(res));
/* always cleanup */
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
return 0;
}
g++
shows me:
fatal error: curl/curl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Can anyone help me?
C++ Solutions
Solution 1 - C++
sudo apt-get install curl-devel
sudo apt-get install libcurl-dev
(will install the default alternative)
OR
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
(the OpenSSL variant)
OR
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
(the gnutls variant)
Solution 2 - C++
To those who use centos and have stumbled upon this post :
$ yum install curl-devel
and when compiling your program example.cpp
, link to the curl library:
$ g++ example.cpp -lcurl -o example
"-o example
" creates the executable example
instead of the default a.out
.
The next line runs example
:
$ ./example
Solution 3 - C++
Instead of downloading curl, down libcurl.
curl is just the application, libcurl is what you need for your C++ program
Solution 4 - C++
yes please download curl-devel as instructed above. also don't forget to link to lib curl:
-L/path/of/curl/lib/libcurl.a (g++)
cheers
Solution 5 - C++
If after the installation curl-dev luarocks does not see the headers:
find /usr -name 'curl.h'
Example: /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/curl/curl.h
luarocks install lua-cURL CURL_INCDIR=/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/
Solution 6 - C++
For those of view who stumbled on this post after a Google of "R
curl
curl.h no such file or directory
" (first link), who are on Windows
, and want to install curl
in R
, the solution is pretty simple and fast.
- Launch
Rtools Bash
from theRtools
folder in theWindows
all app
menu. - Throw
pacman -Syuv
in the command line to make sure you're up-to-date. pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-curl
fixes the problem. You can now go back toR
and installcurl
without any issues. No morecurl.h
missing errors.
Solution 7 - C++
encountered during building git in Centos 8 Stream.
dnf search libcurl
sudo yum install libcurl
sudo yum install libcurl-devel
Now, everything ran fine, and git installed.
Solution 8 - C++
i am running Ubuntu 21.10 and still cant get Curl.h to be recognized even after everything said above. I'm going to just grab it from someones Repo and use it alone. i will keep everyone updated
