You need to install curl.

Just as SavageX said.. you need to install curl or to be exact libcurl3. On debian (based distros) apt-get install curl will install both..
How did you install Nexuiz? Most linux distributions have a Nexuiz package and if you used one of those the dependencies are not right which should get corrected.

i had libcurl but after enabling it it worked:
