-lcurl means that it's linking against the curl library, not that it's trying to use the curl executable. It needs libcurl.a, and I believe that on OpenSuSE, that means that you need to install the development package for curl.

Hi Jonathan,

 Installed the package libcurl-devel, that resolved the issue. Thank you very much.
