Curl Compile Error: ../lib/.libs/libcurl.so: undefined reference to `idna_to_ascii_lz@LIBIDN_1.0'

If you get a curl compile error similar to this one:

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link
c  -g0 -O2 -Wno-system-headers   -o curl  main.o hugehelp.o urlglob.o
writeout.o writeenv.o getpass.o homedir.o curlutil.o os-specific.o
