libcurl-dev Required

[withmetta]

So I tried running "cabal install curl" which crashed as I needed liburl4-openssl-dev or one of the other alternative versions. IDK if this fail more gracefully without having to dig through the error log and then Googling, but I thought I should at least ask.

Maybe this isn't even an issue and I'm just new to the space, but I thought I should at least make a post in case.

No, there's not much to do here. To install the bindings for a C library you have to have the C library installed.
