This error indicates a conflict between the system version of libcurl (7.19.7 on OS X 10.6) and a more recent version installed by MacPorts. To work around the problem, force the use of the system version of libcurl with PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH sudo easy_install pycurl. Alternately, you can install python and pycurl via MacPorts (sudo port install python26 py26-curl) and use those instead of the system versions.

Windows Conflicts

If you want to build the 'tornado.speedups' extension, you will need a Visual Studio compiler. The latest Visual Studio 2013 Community can be used.

To install with pip and Python 2 using Visual Studio 2013, trick into thinking Visual C++ 9:

SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS120COMNTOOLS%

For pip and Python 3 and Visual Studio 2013, trick into thinking Visual C++ 10:

SET VS100COMNTOOLS=%VS120COMNTOOLS%

Then proceed with the pip install tornado. You might needs quotes if there are spaces in the path.
