Whew! I was inspired to install Net::SSH::Perl to try and help troubleshoot another node recently, and it had to install Math::Pari as a prerequisite. Tons of problems! I think my first problem was that I'm on a Mac. HOWEVER, I've finally worked my way through a successful installation, and I think the INSTALL file included in the build directory of Math::Pari might help.... for me, it's located at `~/.cpanplus/5.8.6/build/Math-Pari-2.010703/INSTALL`. Following the suggestions for "problem compilations" seemed to help me, with the final outcome: `Writing /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Math/Pari/ +.packlist Appending installation info to //System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thre +ad-multi-2level/perllocal.pod` [download] Contents of said file included here for your convenience.

But is there any reason to not use pairs of public and private keys for authentication? Hard coding ssh password in your scripts is usually a very bad idea. It just means throwing away several of the meassures ssh takes to trust your environment.	[reply]

you have to add your public key, usually `~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`, to `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` on the remote machine. Googling, I have found this page that explains all the required steps in detail. If you are using the commercial version of ssh, the process is different but it is explained on the FAQ	[reply] [d/l] [select]
