You should install the libcurl-dev pkg with the following cmd first:

$ yum search libcurl

I faced same problem and this SO question was one of top during my search. So I am giving solution that I found. Following cmake worked for me to use libcurl include in my code. Hope it will be usefull for someone.

set(CURL_LIBRARY "-lcurl") 
find_package(CURL REQUIRED) 
add_executable (curl-demo convert.cpp)
include_directories(${CURL_INCLUDE_DIR})
target_link_libraries(curl-demo ${CURL_LIBRARIES})

Answer 3

via pkgconfig

include(FindPkgConfig)
pkg_check_modules(CURL libcurl REQUIRED)
include_directories(
  SYSTEM ${CURL_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)
target_link_libraries(YOURTARGETNAME
  ${CURL_LIBRARIES}
)
