Answer 1

I worked with this

 sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" pip install pycurl 

Answer 2

if you are using linux with apt-get:

 lnx#> apt-get search pycurl 

For installation:

 lnx#> sudo apt-get install python-pycurl 

if on linux with yum:

 lnx#> yum search pycurl I get this on my comp: python-pycurl.x86_64 : A Python interface to libcurl 

For installation, I did:

lnx#> sudo yum install python-pycurl

Another alternative is to use easy_install:

yum or apt-get, install setuptools.
