The configure script is looking for the curl library, needed for support for
use of the DAP protocol for remote access to subsets of data.  If you need this
capability, you will need to install the curl library before running configure,
and tell the configure script where it's installed.  If you don't need DAP
remote access, just add --disable-dap to the configure options.
