Description Steve Timm 2013-10-21 16:10:58 UTC
Description of problem:
libcurl.so.3 / curl 7.15 is not available in RHEL6

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
curl-7.15.5-17.el5_9


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.ls /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.3
2.
3.

Actual results:
No such file or directory

Expected results:
would like it to be there.

Additional info:
We would like the compatible libcurl.so.3 that comes with curl 7.15
available as a compat library for RHEL6.  There was a major change in 
the curl ABI from curl 7.15 as shipped with RHEL5 and curl 7.16 
and greater including the curl 7.19 /libcurl 7.19 that ships with
RHEL6.  We have a user application which depends both on the libcurl.so.3
and the old method of accessing curl that it used.
We would like to see a compat-libcurl released with the old ABI.
See curl developer site http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/abi.html

for details.

Comment 2 Kamil Dudka 2013-10-21 17:16:04 UTC
In general, we do not guarantee ABI compatibility between major RHEL releases, so this is not a bug.  Please contact Product Support regarding your issue.  Bugzilla is only a bug tracking tool and RHEL updates are driven by customer requests.
