I guess you need to install libcurl-dev as well.

I disagree: opam should not install package outside of its scope (i.e. OCaml
packages).  You are trying to install an OCaml binding to the libcurl C library,
it seems fair to expect that you have the latter installed already.

On the other hand, a more friendly error-message would be welcome (but this is a
libcurl issue, not an opam one).
