I get the following errors, basically trying to get curb to go but it wont. Here is a snapshot of my terminal:

gem install curb -- -with-curl-lib=c:/curl-7.33.0/lib

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing curb:

Try passing --with-curl-dir or --with-curl-lib and --with-curl-include
options to extconf.
