It may or may not work, depending on whether the program(s) you are
trying to install make use of the APIs that have changed between
versions 2 and 3 of the library.
A much better solution would be to install the genuine libcurl.so.2:
# rpm -Uvh http://www.city-
fan.org/ftp/contrib/sysutils/Mirroring/compat-libcurl-7.11.2-2.i386.rpm
This package is designed to co-exist peacefully with libcurl.so.3 from
FC3's curl package.
