Re: Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in …/wp-content/plugins/twitter-tools/twitteroauth.php on line 201

Installing php-curl didn’t work for me, sadly. The odd thing is, it is getting picked up by php even when I run it from the command-line. Just to prove it to myself, I deinstalled php5-curl and started over: [I’m using lighttpd, so the php.ini file that gets used is in /etc/php5/cgi]

~# php --php-ini /etc/php5/cgi -r 'curl_init(); print "ok\n";'
