Synaptic gave me a choice of 3 libcurl*
libcurl4-nss-dev (NSS flavour)
libcurl4-gnutls-dev (GnuTLS flavour)
libcurl4-openssl-dev (OpenSSL flavour)

Confusing that there are 3 choices.

I downloaded the OpenSSL one and the "can't find lcurl" has gone 
away. But I am now getting linking errors with regard to curl 
certain curl functions not being found.
