I am working on a distro of linux that doesn't have the version of curl I need supported via apt-get. The latest I can get through apt-get is 7.52.1 and I want the latest (7.65.1). So, I've followed the instructions on the curl website to build and install curl from source, adjusting the prefix so that curl is built in my own folder rather than /usr/local/. When I go into that folder, ~/curl_install/bin, and try to run curl I get the following issue:
$./curl --version
curl 7.64.1 (armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf) libcurl/7.52.1 OpenSSL/1.0.2l zlib/1.2.8 libidn2/0.16 libpsl/0.17.0 (+libidn2/0.16) libssh2/1.7.0 nghttp2/1.18.1 librtmp/2.3
Release-Date: 2019-03-27
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtmp rtsp scp sftp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS GSS-API HTTP2 HTTPS-proxy IDN IPv6 Kerberos Largefile libz NTLM NTLM_WB PSL SPNEGO SSL TLS-SRP UnixSockets
./curl: symbol lookup error: ./curl: undefined symbol: curl_mime_free
Curl is now at the latest version, but libcurl is not. How can I update libcurl to be in parity with curl?

1I would guess, that you probably already compiled it when you built curl. You just need to get the library into your library path. Possibly have to manipulate LD_LIBRARY_PATH or something. – Zoredache – 2019-04-19T00:42:56.240
ah. that's it. What does LD_LIBRARY_PATH do? – yodama – 2019-04-19T00:52:32.980
