How did you come to that conclusion? The configure script checks for the
presense of such a type, and if it finds one it adds the define to the
config.h file. If it finds such a type in one of the system headers it does
not add the define, like in your case.

Either you have such a type, or there's a bug in the configure script. I
suspect the first. But if so, it would indicate that we should include that
header in the curl source code to prevent the compiler error you get. Still,
you'd have to identify which header this is...

I don't think so. You do however make it very hard for us to help you since
you don't include any details and just write short and slightly cryptic
explanations to your problems.

And again, how can others offer binaries for your OS version if curl can't be
built for it?

Perhaps your system is installed without the required headers?

That's zlib. You can get it and install that too, if you want to.

I don't. I just requires a bit of work.
