Error in compile Git 1.6.0.rc1

[mike zheng]

Hello,

I download the git-1.6.0.rc.tar.gz from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/. When I try to compile it
on RH linux, I have following errors. Any idea?

Thanks,

Mike

Sure.  You are missing curl-config.

Look for "Git is reasonably self-sufficient, but" in the INSTALL document
supplied in the tarball.
