Not in an end-user facing message like this one, I would say.

Between 'curl' and 'libcurl', the latter certainly is more
technically correct.  I have a feeling that it would be better to
spell out ">=" as "requires at least" than replacing it with equally
cryptic "<" (it is OK to spell it out as "your libcurl version is
older than minimum required 7.19.4", too).

Thanks.
