what's the deal with needing libcurl.so.2 in order to install various
programs on FC3?
apparenly FC3 does not have libcurl.so.2 but libcurl.so.3
and certain applications can't use libcurl.so.3 they must have
libcurl.so.2
how do you solve this problem?
or does one just put up with it.

The one provided actually is newer, and may expose the same symbols as
the previous, so you may just do a symlink to it under /usr/lib/:
su
password:
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libcurl.so.3 libcurl.so.2
That should do it.
It may or may not work, depending on whether the program(s) you are
trying to install make use of the APIs that have changed between
versions 2 and 3 of the library.
A much better solution would be to install the genuine libcurl.so.2:
# rpm -Uvh http://www.city-
fan.org/ftp/contrib/sysutils/Mirroring/compat-libcurl-7.11.2-2.i386.rpm
This package is designed to co-exist peacefully with libcurl.so.3 from
FC3's curl package.
