error using smtp with libcurl

[Prasanna Mohanty]

Hello,
I see the following error while trying to test smtp to send mail.
--
Local file size: 17 bytes.
* Protocol smtp not supported or disabled in libcurl
* Unsupported protocol
--
My overall program structure to set curl options look as follows.
Is there any thing missing in terms of setting any other option?

--
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, read_callback);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1L);
curl_easy_setopt(curl,CURLOPT_URL, "smtp://10.207.80.101");
curl_easy_setopt(curl,CURLOPT_MAIL_FROM, "prasanna.mohanty<at>merson.com");
curl_easy_setopt(curl,CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT, "prasanna.mohanty<at>emerson.com");

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READDATA, hd_src);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE,
(curl_off_t)fsize);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
--
Thanks
Prasanna Mohanty

This means your libcurl was built without smtp support.

You should compile your libcurl with the configure option
--enable-smtp if you want it to support smtp.

I did the following inside curl-7.21.1 directory



--

./configure --enable-smtp

sudo make install
--

already supports smtp

but when I execute the compiled code I see the error. Did I miss any
installation step?



--

[***@localhost ~]$ curl --version

curl 7.21.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.21.1 OpenSSL/1.0.0 zlib/1.2.3
libidn/1.9

[***@localhost ~]$ ./a.out

can you do a where curl to ensure that your path is not causing you to
pick up a previously installed version of curl?

Please don't top-post on this list.

Is it possible the installed curl and your ./a.out are using two
different versions of the library?

Maybe try something like:

ldd ./a.out
ldd $(which curl)

And make sure you don't have an extra copy of the library
installed somewhere.

Thanks for the suggestion.
In fact this was the problem ./a.out was picking the library from /usr/lib where as
the new lib is installed in /usr/local/lib. It is fixed.
