When I had php-5.3.3-38.el6 installed, it would call out libcurl.so.3. I read this was supported only on RHEL 5, so it was confusing to see it call it out when starting the httpd service.

I created a link from libcurl.so.3 to libcurl.so.4 just to see if it would start, but then it called out an older ssl library file than what was already installed....at this point, I checked to see what the current version of php was...

I then upgraded the package to php-5.3.3-40.el6_6.x86_64, and the errors when away...

Anyone else have this problem? possible bug with the older version?
