$ rpm --redhatprovides libcurl.so.2
curl-7.9.8-5

Tells you to install the package named "curl" to solve the
dependency. Roughly, a ".so" file is a program code library
("so" is short for "shared objects").

Depending on what "couple of packages" you tried to install, 
you might want to look into using a tool that solves the
dependencies for you, e.g. up2date, yum, apt-rpm, ...
