I'm not an AIX specialist, but I think you need to change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that it includes the directory where libcurl.so.4 resides
</div>


<div>
If you have 7.2 Tr6 I believe cURL is built in. i believe it is in 5733-OPS.

<div>
Thanks for the quick responses!<br />
<br />
I'm new to this area of the IBMi . &nbsp;Where do I find cURL?

Home of cURL is : &nbsp;<a href="https://curl.haxx.se/" rel="ugc">https://curl.haxx.se/</a>
</div>


<div>
Download the IBM i version based on the instructions in the Wiki I provided above, not from curl.haxx.se.

Working with AIX... Super ugly, hair pulling experience, on the best of days.<br />
<br />
When you have to install public domain software, you can end up in a dark corner mumbling to yourself.<br />
<br />
Take Gary's advice. Unless your a hardcore, uber geek, download per Gary's instructions.

And to make things more complex, IBM i is not AIX. &nbsp;Completely separate OS, and not based on any of the Unix style OSes. &nbsp; IBM i is the modern version of the AS400 operating system, OS/400. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
THere is an AIX emulation environment called PASE that runs on IBM i, and that supports execution of AIX binaries (similar to WINE or Cygwin under Windows). &nbsp;As with all tools of this sort, PASE also introduces occasional complications. &nbsp; In the past, my advice was simple, install the AIX binaries in PASE if you want to use cURL.<br />
<br />
But now IBM is offering prepackaged, tested builds of common open source tools like cURL (they still run in PASE), with some limited support and updates delivered through normal IBM i delivery channels. &nbsp;Most IBM i shops will find the process familiar. &nbsp;So if you are on a supported IBM i release, use the IBM distributions, install methods, and update methods where they are available, and only resort to AIX binaries or compilation from source if you need a tool that IBM isnt yet supplying.

Thanks Gary and I got a kick out of David's comment!! &nbsp;I'm now trying to determine if 5733-OPS is installed, because I am the only IT person I rely on a support company for OS PTF installs.
</div>


<div>
Ok, &nbsp;This is driving me nuts. &nbsp;Not just because I'm new to cURL and PASE, now 5733OPS is installed and I can't find any decent documentation on were to run cURL from, where is cURL installed, etc. &nbsp; I know see that I have 5733OPS. &nbsp;I have run the QP2TERM then try running a curl command: &nbsp;curl <a href="http://www.google.com" rel="ugc">www.google.com</a>&nbsp;...... &nbsp; and I get: /QOpenSys/usr/bin/-sh: curl: &nbsp;not found. &nbsp;Where is cURL?
</div>


<div>
5733 ops is a placeholder. &nbsp;You need to install the ptfs too. &nbsp;They contain the actual code. .or you can use RPM. &nbsp;Specific steps are in the Developerworks link I posted previously.

Where can I find the program cURL, what library is it contained in.
