Curl is not a default package on most Linux distributions, and is not listed as a requirement for reFrame.
When curl is missing, bootstrap.sh will blow right past the curl failure and continue to attempt to execute commands.
Add a check for curl, and print a meaningful message + exit if it is not found.
