A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Hi, I'm trying to run ktor with `libcurl` natively on linux. I do have dependencies declared and `libcurl` installed. But I'm getting this error : `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld.gold: error: cannot find -lcurl` followed by more `libcurl` related errors. Tried disabling the compiler cache as suggested but it makes no difference

It was already installed, probably was a dependence for something else

Oops, mistake is on my end I guess, `libcurl` itself is not enough, you would need the `libcurl-devel` package installed. Of course it is obvious for developers who have native development experience, but I think it would be a bit more helpful for non-experienced developers if it was specifically stated in the docs.

it's actually not that obvious since depending on distribution `libcurl` might actually be just enough. It's in general a bit tricky sometimes to get all the paths in place and working with cinterop, but it's a matter of some experience and then things become a bit more straightforward :slightly_smiling_face:

There is a similar <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTOR-5894|issue> about that.
