You need to ruby extconf.rb to generate a Makefile, then do make && make
install to compile and install the binding.

*However*, rbCurl has been (apparently) abandoned for quite some time,
and doesn't compile with Ruby 1.8 or modern GCC. See thread [1] and my
reply [2] for a possible workaround. As a result of that thread, there
was some discussion of Friedrich possibly picking up rbCurl and properly
updating it, but I don't know any more about that at the moment.
