On a fresh install of slackware 12.0, curl is currently broken. After I log in over ssl, I run:

Code:  cd /usr/local/src

followed by:
Code:
curl -0 http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/emacs-22.1.tar.gz

and receive:

Code: curl: error while loading shared libraries: libidn.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any ideas for a fix/workaround? Aside from wget (which is not installed.)

Try Installing/Recompiling libidn:

If you have PHP installed... set up a little upload form.
Can't think of much else other than that.

You can install the libidn package from the slackware distro:

Code:
root@liX-X:/srv/slackware/slackware-12.0/install/slackware# curl
curl: error while loading shared libraries: libidn.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

root@liX-X:/srv/slackware/slackware-12.0/install/slackware# installpkg l/libidn-0.6.10-i486-1.tgz
