Issue while installing GIT on Linux ??

ajeetraina · 08-27-2007, 06:28 AM

Recently I tried installing the GIT with the dependency packages.I installed zlib,libcrypto(openssl) etc required but when I downloaded the git pacvkage and tried this command it showed the following error:

vjs@spam:~/git-1.5.2.4$ make prefix=/usr/local install
CC convert-objects.o
In file included from convert-objects.c:1:
cache.h:6:21: error: openssl/sha.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [convert-objects.o] Error 1

Can anyone trace out the Issue pliz?

the problem is the openssl package. I don't know what distro you are use it, but install the openssl-dev package or something similar.
