in thread Threadsafe Net::SSH::Perl alternative

I never use cpan. I would manually install the latest libssh2, then manually install the Perl module......perl Makefile.pl, make , make install..... then see what the errors are. It sounds like your libssh2 is too old or has some version/header problem. The active maillist at ssh maillist can probably provide you with an answer, if the above manual installs fail.

    Not too convinced with doing manual installs, as these will have to be done over a number of machines - I'm using libssh2 0.14, while it appears the latest is 0.18.

    I'm using Ubuntu, and a quick search on google showed that 0.18 packages are in debian's testing branch, so maybe a stable version will be available soon - else we can try to see if the testing package works.

    Thanks for your help!

    I have the same problem trying to install the perl module, but manually installing it doesn't help, it gives me the same error ...

    Any idea ?

      All I can say is try to manually install. First is libssh2 , and make sure you have the latest dependencies installed first. Then work thru any errors that the compilation process spits out. If all goes well, install the latest Perl Net::SSH2 module. If it dosn't work after that, I would consult the ssh experts at the ssh maillist
