RHEL 4 - libcurl error

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to install MapGuide Enterprise on Redhat Enterprise Linux version 4.

The Web Server Extension install fails due to being written to require libcurl.so.2 (from RHEL3 - which is now deprecated). RHEL4 uses libcurl.so.3.

I tried creating a symlink in /usr/lib/ from libcurl.so.2 to libcurl.so.3.0.0.

[root@mapguidedev lib]# pwd
/usr/lib
[root@mapguidedev lib]# ls -al|less

Obviously this didn't work since I'm writing to the list.

Any suggestions (aside from using RHEL3) ?


For the record, the error is:
