in reply to Re^3: Need Help Installing Net::SSH2
in thread Need Help Installing Net::SSH2

Hi Khen1950x, Finally got back onto this project again for a while ... You said that I should "... First, you need to remove the current openssl include headers." However, I am a bit lost as to know where to locate them, in order to remove them. I guess it may be different on different systems, but if you're able to make some suggestions then that would be very useful to me. Meantime, I have now downloaded both the libssh2 and openssl tarballs and extracted. I tried doing the libssh2 stuff you suggested, before having done anything else, and it errored with:

"checking for OpenSSL... configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's <evp.h> or <hmac.h>"

So, I figured I needed to do the openssl stuff first. But, before doing that I wanted to make sure that I had removed the files you suggested ... and that's where I am right now. Any assistance mightily appreciated. I think this might take me a while to do, since I'm on a bit of a learning curve here, but hope you can be patient :-) Thanks again.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    Don't worry about the headers. Just follow the procedures that I gave you in this order:

    1st) OpenSSL
    2nd) libssh2
    3rd) Net::SSH2

    You can usually find the headers in /usr/local/include or do locate evp.h and so on. Have fun...

      Thanks for the info ... However, I don't seem to be progressing very far. I tried installing the OpenSSL the way you suggested and got errors (as in first code-box below). Then, noting it seemed to be with regards to 64-bit stuff (which the machine is) I used a different "march" value, as in the second box below (which resulted in different errors).

      Any suggestions? I feel very incompetent at doing this :-(
