  FILE *pagefile;

    return 1;
  }
 
  curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL);
  /* init the curl session */ 
  curl_handle = curl_easy_init();
 
  /* set URL to get here */ 
  curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, argv[1]);
  curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); 
  /* Switch on full protocol/debug output while testing */ 
  curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1L);
 
  /* disable progress meter, set to 0L to enable and disable debug output */ 
  curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, 1L);
 
  /* send all data to this function  */ 
  curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, write_data);
 
  /* open the file */ 
  pagefile = fopen(pagefilename, "wb");
  if(pagefile) {
 
    /* write the page body to this file handle */ 
    curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, pagefile);
 
    /* get it! */ 
    curl_easy_perform(curl_handle);
 
    /* close the header file */ 
    fclose(pagefile);
  }
 
  /* cleanup curl stuff */ 
  curl_easy_cleanup(curl_handle);
 
  return 0;
}

I compiled this using :
1
2
g++ -o a -std=c++11 alpha.cpp -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lcurl
 

And this is my input to the commandline-
./a google.com
It works fine.
However, when I say ./a reddit.com , I get a message,one line being
* WARNING: failed to load NSS PEM library libnsspem.so. Using OpenSSL PEM certificates will not work.  

What am I doing wrong?
