title: Using Laravel, Guzzle complains that the PHP cURL extension isn't installed
body: <p>When attempting to create a new Laravel project (with Laravel.phar, on Ubuntu 12.04):</p>
  
  <pre><code>laravel new myproject
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Crafting application...
  
  [Guzzle\Common\Exception\RuntimeException]               
  The PHP cURL extension must be installed to use Guzzle.  
  
  new name
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>PHP's cURL (and all related packages I could find by googling this issue) <strong>is</strong> installed and enabled.</p>
  
  <p>The first few lines of phpinfo()'s cURL section is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cURL support    enabled
  cURL Information    7.22.0
  Age 3
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can't quite figure out what's going wrong here. Thanks in advance!</p>
