ssh

[Scott D. Allen]

I don't know if this is the right forum. Let me know if it's not.

I'm trying to install openssh on my HP-UX 10.20 server and I'm hitting some serious snags. I've installed openssl and zlib from the software porting site and the openssh install is just falling over on the make (./configure && make && make install).

I get an ld error status 1 when it dumps out.

Has anyone installed openssh on 10.20? If so, how did you do it and what sort of problems/solutions (if any) did you run into? Thanks.

Did so on 10.20. Came from the porting archive.

Did you generate the keys and put into a common file?
Do the systems have the /.shosts file?

These were the two biggest problems I encountered.

[Scott D. Allen]

From the porting archive? I couldn't find it. You mean http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/?

What did you search for?

Could only find openssl/zlib, not openssh.

Do you have gcc installed? you might want to do that.

[Rick Garland]

I know that is where I got it. I did the download.

[Rick Garland]

Been out searching. It is not there anymore.
Did find www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/CC/ssh but only free for non-comercial versions.

Used to be free SW.

[Scott D. Allen]

Oh well. That would've been nice.

Yes, I do have gcc installed.

Anyone else?

I think that if you turned on debugging and verbose mode, you might be able to capture other error messages leading to the failure :

./configure -v ; make -d install

Another thought is that the ld being used is not the gcc version - ie, you might want to set the path to the gcc version of ld. (verify which appears first with "which ld" and if it is not the gcc one, you might want to fix that)

[Scott D. Allen]

Thanks Kofi.
I don't think it's gcc ld. I guess I can get that at GNU?

[Kofi ARTHIABAH]

Sorry, I meant gnu version of ld (which should have come with your gcc installation anyway)

Good luck

[Scott D. Allen]

no. my gcc doesn't have it, nor does the binutils from the hp software depot (2.9.1). I guess I have to download/install the source?

fun.

[Scott D. Allen]

So, then I go to install binutils from source and the configure script says that ld is not valid for this configuration! That's the only thing that I wanted from the whole set of binutils! argh!
