Is the libest able to be built with libcurl.so.4.8.0?

[jerrybean17]

I have built the libest with libcurl.so.4.5.0.
But I couldn't build it with libcurl.so.4.8.0.

Is it able to be built with libcurl.so.4.8.0?
How can I build it with libcurl.so.4.8.0.

$ ./configure
...

checking for curl_easy_init in -lcurl... no
