Hello all.

I recently installed Mandrake 10, and I want to use it as a server. I downloaded SSH-2.0.9, and I started to install it. I did:
tar xvzf ssh-2.0.9.tar.gz #
cd ssh-2.0.9
./configure
su
make

When I inputted "make", it did the following:
[root@localhost ssh-2.0.9]# make

What should I do about those errors ? Should my SSH work even with these errors ?
Also, I installed my Mandrake only with 2 CD:s, should the absence of third CD affect my linux majorly ?

Thanks in advance.

ssh wasn't already installed? Anyway, I have found urpmi to be very useful in this kind of situation (unless you like the inner satisfaction of compiling yourself). urpmi simplifies the installation of rpms and their dependencies. As root, try urpmi ssh. You may need to configure urpmi first. Check out http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php and man urpmi for help on configuring.

Do you have the compiler installed and devel packages?

Did ./configure show what you need to compile ssh?

meblost:
Compiling programs makes it easier to know what kind of options the program has. Using prebuild packages like RPM will be hard to guess what options it has and which options it does not have. Compiling puts you in control and make sure the program is legitmate. Usually RPM are old program versions and it takes a while for people to make RPM files from the latest programs.

Could be you are missing soft to compile, did you install g++ and gcc ? (gnu C compiler)

Electro:
All true Statements. Regarding program options, you will notice that ParalyZer did not give any arguments to ./configure and it seems to me that for beginners (not sure whether ParalyZer is a beginner or not), rpms reduce the headache and the time lost from this kind of situation. Just my opinion...

Thanks all :)
Can you tell how to uninstall any previous SSH:s ?
And yes, I'm a beginner :)

for debian : dpkg --remove ssh or sshd if you have ssh deamon

dpkg --purge ssh to purge all config files

you're welcome

The makefile in the ssh-2.0.9 dir should have targets called "clean" and "uninstall". If you only need to remove the partially compiled version from this thread, type make clean to remove object files and temp files and that kind of thing. If you ran make install, you can do make uninstall to remove executables and manual pages.
