Protocol "https" not supported or disabled in libcurl ubuntu python

Question

I am trying to run a repository from github in ubuntu18. after running

python3 setup.py develop --user

I got the error

CMake Error at libmypaint-stamp/download-libmypaint.cmake:159 (message):
  Each download failed!

    error: downloading 'https://github.com/mypaint/libmypaint/releases/download/v1.3.0/libmypaint-1.3.0.tar.xz' failed
         status_code: 1
         status_string: "Unsupported protocol"
         log:
         --- LOG BEGIN ---
         Protocol "https" not supported or disabled in libcurl

  Closing connection -1



         --- LOG END ---

I've seen other related topics , but didn't get my answer .

and this is the result of running curl --version :

curl 7.65.3 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.65.3 OpenSSL/1.1.1
Release-Date: 2019-07-19
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp 
Features: AsynchDNS HTTPS-proxy IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL TLS-SRP UnixSockets

any help ? Regards

Answer 1

I didn't find what causes the problem . but I downloaded the repository manually and edited the CMakeList.txt to use the local file URL.

Answer 2

In this case, cmake is not using curl when making. I re-install my cmake like this:

git clone -b v3.10.2 https://cmake.org/cmake.git cmake
cd cmake
./bootstrap --system-curl
make
sudo make install

When it comes into 'Could NOT find ZLIB', just download zlib in http://www.zlib.net/fossils/ , make and install zlib. Then re-install cmake.
