@budda in IRC pointed this out when i was having issues running the install script on debian.

I continually got an error: "The external command could not be executed due to an application error." and "Call to undefined function curl_init() in /var/aegir/.drush/drush_make/drush_make.utilities.inc on line 354"

The solution was installing curl and php5-curl packages. I've attached a patch to install.txt so that it is documented to install those 2 before running the script.

Hi Nick,

This is a bug in the latest version of drush_make which incorrectly depends on php5-curl.

We deliberately didn't update INSTALL.txt because it shouldn't be a dependency and should use wget or something first

See #647546: drush_make 6.x-2.0-beta5 depends on php curl libraries, should seek alternatives and also this item in our FAQ

Thanks
