Error when compiling hydra on ubuntu 9.10

Hi
I'm trying to compile the program called "hydra", but when I do, i get the following error messages:

Sorry for the really long quote. Any help, with solving this and maybe compiling in generel, since I've only done it a couple of times before, but I can't figure this out, at all. My system is Ubuntu 9.10.

Hydra is very old software, and doesn't work with modern versions of libssh. There is a Hydra patch (written by the libssh maintainers), that is supposed to add support for newer libssh releases, but I have not personally used it.

Though it also looks like you are running into some sort of X-related issue there. I would still try applying the patch and seeing if that helps, since that is certainly required on a modern system no matter what.

You can find instructions on how to compile hydra on Ubuntu here: http://www.hacktoolrepository.com/tool/37/Hydra. It mentions your problem as well.
