 * Hi,
 * I downloaded the ‘PayPal Responder’ Plugin and when I went to activate it the
   following error appeared:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in D:\Home\Default\habb.org\
   htdocs\wp-content\plugins\paypal-responder\ipn.php on line 61
 * I don’t have a great deal of experience with WordPress and code but I deactivated
   other PlugIns and the only one working is the ‘Google Analytics for WordPress’
   Plugin.
 * Do you have any suggestions as to the cause?
