Unable to install Net::SSH2 on Solaris10

ashok.g has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Folks,

Any idea why I am unable to install Net-SSH2-0.40 on Solaris 10?

bash-3.00# 
bash-3.00# perl Makefile.PL 
Subroutine checklibs redefined at inc/Module/Install/CheckLib.pm line 
+11.
Subroutine assertlibs redefined at inc/Module/Install/CheckLib.pm line
+ 25.
Subroutine _author_side redefined at inc/Module/Install/CheckLib.pm li
+ne 39.

The libssh2 library is required by this module.  If you don't have it,
+ you can
download it from http://www.libssh2.org; you may also need OpenSSL, wh
+ich 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

Use of uninitialized value in length at inc/Devel/CheckLib.pm line 338
+.
Can't link/include 'ssh2'
[download]

Any Idea??

Thanks,
Ashok.

The output of `perl MakeFile.PL` is fairly self explanatory, the modules README file further explains dependencies.	[reply] [d/l]

Did you read this: `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` [download] If that fails, post your perl version (perl -V), Net::SSH2 version.	[reply] [d/l]

On Solaris you can replace almost fully transparently Net::SSH2 by Net::OpenSSH::Compat::SSH2... or even better, go for the real thing and use Net::OpenSSH.	[reply]
