Others have suggested looking for curl in your Linux system, but
I don't think that is the problem.

I believe that IDL packages up all of those external libraries within the
IDL distribution itself. That is, you don't need to install netCDF
or HDF to use the netCDF or HDF functions within IDL.

So I think this is a problem with the IDL distribution. Maybe
it's an 8.0.1 issue. Have you tried on a newer release?
