That should have worked - did you install the rpm?
rpm -ql compat-libcurl

What does that output?

Follow these instructions to create an rpmbuild environment:

http://mpeters.us/linux/rpmbuild.php

They are fairly simple.
Then - as a standard user run:

rpmbuild --rebuild program.src.rpm

If you get failed build dependencies, you need to install those before  
you can build it. For example, if it says it needs curl-devel - then

yum install curl-devel

That really is more than you should need to do though, you should be  
able to install the mentioned compat-libcurl rpm and it should work.
