You don't need to change any source lines in the normal headers now with the

The "right" way of doing this is to:

 #include <curl/curl.h>

As you point out the /home/myfolder/include directory with -I.

That looks correct.

You should in fact also be able to compile with a line like this:

 $ `curl-config --cc --cflags --libs` -o test.cgi test.c

You mean when you run it as:

 $ ./test.cgi
