If you don't have it, you can download it from http://www.libssh2.org; you may also need OpenSSL, which can be obtained from http://www.openssl.org. Debian: sudo aptitude install libssh2-1-dev OpenSUSE: sudo zypper in libssh2-1 libssh2-devel You can pass your libssh2 lib and include dirs on the command line. E.g.: perl Makefile.PL lib=$HOME/libssh2/lib inc=$HOME/libssh2/include Couldn't find your C compiler Compilation failed in require at inc/Module/Install/CheckLib.pm line 17.
