When I try to install the Stripe python package (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/stripe) on Ubuntu 10.10, I'm getting the following error:

```Fatal Python error: pycurl: libcurl link-time version is older than compile-time version```

According to these pages, it appears that there are some version differences:

Should I try updating libcurl or pycurl?

See the full traceback here:
