I tried installing Net::SSH::Perl on a Solaris 8/9 system and ran into numerous issues. After digging a bit, one of the README documents discussed building the required modules under Sun. I don't recall exactly which module mentioned this but I understood the problem was SUN Perl was built with Sun's C compiler. Trying to build under gcc had numberous problems because pieces were missing.

If you have Sun's C compiler it should work. I'm going from memory here but I believe if you switched from kpic to using fpic then it seemed to work. I didn't get very far with this and eventually switched to building under SLES8 Linux. This seemed to work very well. If this doesn't make sense let me know. I'm digging and can't find which module actually said that.

I also strongly recommend running "make test" after installing each module. It helped guide me a bit. There were failures during the build caused by missing dependancies. IMO installing this module was a little heavy on the dependancies however it works well once installed properly. I now have two servers running it just fine (under Linux).

I know this doesn't directly answer your question. I'm hoping it helps you find your way. Please let me know if you are still having problems. This was one of the toughest installations I've done with Perl.
