Быстрая установка curl-loader на Ubuntu

Для установки нужны будут пакеты:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev
девелоперская библиотека нужна для HTTPS'а (без нее пакетик-то соберется и даже изобразит какую-то работу, но без результата)
качаем и распаковываем "давилку"
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/curl-loader/files/curl-loader-stable/curl-loader-0.52/curl-loader-0.52.tar.gz
tar zxvf curl-loader-0.52.tar.gz
переходим в распакованный каталог и собираем пакет
sudo make && make install
теперь под судоером его можно будет запустить, указав файл с настройками (целями).
Например, для тестов балансировщика Cisco CSS 11503 применялся такой файл настройки:
sudo vim bulc_8.conf
