PHP 5 can't find curl.so

So, I've been running a web server on Ubuntu for a while now. Whenever I run a PHP script on the command-line, I always get the following error message:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20041030/curl.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20041030/curl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

It was annoying, but didn't bother me enought to deal with it. But today, I got a bunch of error message in my mailbox. That's because I started running a PHP script in a cron job. That is just too annoying.

So I decided to look in "/usr/lib/php5/20041033". And there is no curl.so. I have no idea what curl.so is. But since I haven't had it from the start, it didn't seem like I was gonna needed. I looked at "php.ini" and noticed the following three lines:

extension=curl.so
extension=gd.so
extension=mysql.so

The last two is definitely in the directory. Just not "curl.so". I remove the "extension=curl.so" line from "php.ini". Now there is no more error messages!

Try and run "aptitude install php5-curl" see if that will help.
