System: ibook G4 / linux ubuntu 2.6.28-6-powerpc OS : ubuntu 9.04(jaunty) PHP ver : 5.2.6-3ubuntu4.6

Please let me know how to install curl on my system. Synaptic Package Manager tells me to install curl_7.18.2-18-ubuntu4.1_powerpc.deb on it.

But I get this error

No such a file on http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/c/curl

I have downloaded a later version of this file, but package manager ignores the file on disk.

First run "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get install " it.

If you already have the deb file, just run "sudo dpkg -i .deb".

These commands are all to be executed on the command line terminal.

Thank you so much! but still Err ports.ubuntu.com jaunty-security/main libcurl3 7.18.2-8ubuntu4.1 404 Not Found – SoonYeoung Jun 16 '11 at 5:55
Try doing a 'sudo aptitude upgdate' first, to make sure it's trying to fetch the current version on the mirror. And if that fails, then you probably have incorrect/outdated sources entries (very possible, since jaunty is old, and, if I'm not mistaken, no longer on the official mirrors). You may want to upgrade to a later version of Ubuntu. 9.04 is over 2 years old now... – Flimzy Jun 16 '11 at 6:14
