Disable the curl module. Your problems seems to be with curl, not with Asterisk. Incidentally, 64 bit doesn’t necessarily mean Intel 64 bit, but your problem is probably specific to Intel.

Thanks for your help, it really worked!

But how will it affect the overall functioning of Asterisk.

Any suggestions, links that can help me gettting started with Asterisk, i have the Asterisk Future of Telephoney PDF.

\Thanks

It means your dialplan won’t be able to use the CURL function. Most dialplans wouldn’t use it anyway.
