7.15.5 was the last version of curl with the "libcurl.so.3" library
version. All subsequent versions have been the slightly incompatible
"libcurl.so.4" library version. You can't simply upgrade your curl
version beyond 7.15.5 because lots of other RPM packages on your system
will require the "libcurl.so.3" version.

However, there is something you can do. I have some up to date curl
versions (7.21.6) plus some backwards-compatibility packages (7.15.5)
that you can install at the same time to get the benefit of the up to
date curl without breaking the rest of the system. You can find them
here:

You will need to download curl-7.21.6-2.0.cf.rhel5.x86_64.rpm,
libcurl-7.21.6-2.0.cf.rhel5.x86_64.rpm and
libcurl7155-7.15.5-12.cf.rhel5.x86_64.rpm, then install them all at the
same time using rpm.

If you have the i386 curl package installed as well, you'll want to do
the same with the i386 packages.

Given that you're doing development work with libcurl, you'll need the
libcurl-devel packages too.
