Go into the directory that you untarred the src to and type: `./configure --help` [download] A list of all the different options will popup. I would recommend doing: `./configure --enable-shared --with-gnu-ld` [download] The "--with-gnu-ld" is necessary in order to properly do ldconfig. So the mantra is: `./configure --enable-shared --with-gnu-ld make make check make install /sbin/ldconfig /usr/local/lib` [download] Now run `whereis libssh2` [download] If everything's in order, then it should return something like: `/usr/local/lib/libssh2.so /usr/local/lib/libssh2.a /usr/local/lib/libssh2.la` [download] Update: I think that you have the same problem with OpenSSL. Here's the most recent tarball: http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz It's a slightly more complicated procedure. First, you need to remove the current openssl include headers. Then do `./Configure linux-elf -march=pentium make make test make install` [download] Next, you must manually install Net::SSH2. `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib perl Makefile.PL lib=/usr/local/lib make make test make install` [download] Now, you're good to go...

Hi Khen1950fx, Sorry, only just saw your reply. Okay, I will give this a whirl. Without reading your entire post I dived straight in and tried the ./configure bit (and got the "configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's <evp.h> or <hmac.h>") ... Then I saw your comment further down about downloading and installing OpenSSL again ... so I'm trying that now. Download seems to have messed up at the moment, so I'll try again in a while ... Meantime I am trying to locate the current openssl include headers, which currently escape me. Thank you again for your help, and if I don't get back here tonight, then I hope I can bother you again tomorrow if you're able to. Thanks!	[reply]

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.	[reply] [d/l]

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...	[reply] [d/l]
