Need help building cgminer from git on Fedora17[update]

Initially autogen/configure was unable to find libcurl ~~but I found that that was a permissions issue by running it as root~~ strangely, its hit or miss and more consistently miss for detecting libcurl or libcurl version. I have AMDAPP-SDK installed and working, I know this because the precompiled binary works. Still, autogen is not finding OpenCL.

This is what I get running autogen:

I'm also asking for help on the Fedora forums and this is what I have posted over there:
The code I'm trying to compile is cgminer, here's a link to the README on github. https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/README
More info here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.0

It seems to have been developed on Ubuntu and the dependencies listed in the README are here:

Quote

Dependencies:
   curl dev library    http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
   (libcurl4-openssl-dev)

   curses dev library
   (libncurses5-dev or libpdcurses on WIN32)

   pkg-config      http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config
   libtool         http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/

   jansson         http://www.digip.org/jansson/
   (jansson is included in-tree and not necessary)

   yasm 1.0.1+ http://yasm.tortall.net/
   (yasm is optional, gives assembly routines for CPU mining)

   AMD APP SDK      http://developer.amd.com/sdks/AMDAPPSDK
   (This sdk is mandatory for GPU mining)

   AMD ADL SDK      http://developer.amd.com/sdks/ADLSDK
   (This sdk is mandatory for ATI GPU monitoring & clocking)

   libudev headers
   (This is only required for FPGA auto-detection and is linux only)

   libusb headers
   (This is only required for ZTEX support)

There is a pre-built binary available that will run and do the GPU overclocking and fan control and submit shares before crashing. The only error message it offers is

./cgminer: /lib64/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by ./cgminer)

My guess is that the code is pretty platform specific to Ubuntu/Debian. Specifically some differences between how Debian and Fedora handle environmental variables and version info. I'm not quite experienced enough to figure it out on my own yet. I've had it running for weeks at a time on an Ubuntu box. As a test I just ran a git build on the Ubuntu box and it works.

I'm on Fedora 17 x86_64
the output of the suggested query:

Code:

# rpm -aq | grep curl |sort 
curl-7.24.0-5.fc17.x86_64
libcurl-7.24.0-5.fc17.x86_64
libcurl-devel-7.24.0-5.fc17.x86_64
python-pycurl-7.19.0-10.fc17.x86_64

adding:

Code:

# rpm -ql libcurl-devel
/usr/bin/curl-config
/usr/include/curl
/usr/include/curl/curl.h
/usr/include/curl/curlbuild-64.h
/usr/include/curl/curlbuild.h
/usr/include/curl/curlrules.h
/usr/include/curl/curlver.h

/usr/include/curl/stdcheaders.h
/usr/include/curl/typecheck-gcc.h
/usr/lib64/libcurl.so
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc
/usr/share/aclocal/libcurl.m4

*Omitting /usr/share/doc and /usr/share/man

Similar info from a working Ubuntu build:

Code:

[COLOR="Sienna"]$ dpkg --get-selections | grep curl|sort
curl						install
libcurl3-gnutls					install
libcurl3					install
libcurl3-nss					install
libcurl4-openssl-dev				install
python-pycurl					install[/color]

and

Code:

[COLOR="Sienna"]$ dpkg -L libcurl4-openssl-dev 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.la
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc
/usr/include/curl/curl.h
/usr/include/curl/curlver.h
/usr/include/curl/easy.h
/usr/include/curl/mprintf.h
/usr/include/curl/stdcheaders.h
/usr/include/curl/multi.h
/usr/include/curl/typecheck-gcc.h
/usr/include/curl/curlbuild.h
/usr/include/curl/curlrules.h
/usr/share/aclocal/libcurl.m4
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so[/COLOR]

*Also ommitting /usr/share/[doc||man]

These are also some potentially interesting differences:
Fedora 17:

Code:

# curl --version
curl 7.24.0 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.24.0 NSS/3.13.5.0 zlib/1.2.5 libidn/1.24 libssh2/1.4.1
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp scp sftp smtp smtps telnet tftp 
Features: AsynchDNS GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz

Ubuntu 12.04:

Code:

[COLOR="sienna"]$ curl --version
curl 7.22.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.22.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1 zlib/1.2.3.4 libidn/1.23 librtmp/2.3

Features: GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz TLS-SRP [/COLOR]

My ultimate goal is to be able to offer the developer a diff patch making the code more platform independent, or possibly just a note in the readme to help F17 users get the right dependencies.
