You could run: sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

It worked in my workspace/Ubuntu distro:
Description: Ubuntu 13.10
Release: 13.10
Codename: saucy

Hi !

I'm working on ubuntu 14.04 with python 3.4 and I didn't succeed to install pycurl !

This file doesn't exist
Could not run curl-config: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/bin/curl-config'

Thanks !

Had to do first: sudo apt-get update
Then @b1's suggestion: sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev librtmp-dev
And pip install pycurl worked. Thanks!

@b1's sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev librtmp-dev worked well for me.

Thanks!

In my case apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev was enough, no need to install librtmp-dev

Try with
apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev python-dev

You may also need to install libmysqlclient-dev
