How to fix: llama.cpp built without libcurl

[eonward]

Hi!

It seems like my llama.cpp can't use libcurl in my system.

When I try to pull a model from HF, I get the following:
llama_load_model_from_hf: llama.cpp built without libcurl, downloading from Hugging Face not supported.

I'm on Ubuntu, and have the following modules installed:
libcurl3t64-gnutls
libcurl4t64

libcurl4t64 in particular provides libcurl4

➜  llama.cpp git:(master) dpkg -L libcurl4t64
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4.8.0
/usr/share/doc/libcurl4t64/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libcurl4t64
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4

(abridged)

Is this the curl used in common_download_file in common.cpp, or is that looking for something else?

Any ideas? Thanks!

Can you double check that the llama.cpp version that you build used the LLAMA_CURL flag?

If using cmake this would look something like this:

$ cmake -S . -B build -DLLAMA_CURL=ON

Or if using make:

$ make LLAMA_CURL=1

Also, if I remember correctly you might need the libcurl4-openssl-dev package as well.

$ sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev
