Conky and /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4

Hi, while I'm new to arch I've been using linux for a good six months now and can usually get around most problems. I've basically got everything as I usually like it except for conky. I go ahead and install it, make my .conkyrc and assume I'll be good. However, when I run conky I get "conky: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4: file too short". Not much else to say except what is it telling me and how do I fix it?

I'm just reporting back in the event somebody has the same problem and this comes up. I just deleted the file, it still errored out. Installed curl again and it's working.

Re: Conky and /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4

[stijn@lysithea ~]$ pacman -Ql curl | grep curl.so
curl /usr/lib/libcurl.so
curl /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4
curl /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4.0.1

If your box is up to date you shouldn't have any problem . Conky runs fine here.
