As the title says I am trying to install the perl module perl-Net-SSH2. I have tried via yum but get an error that no package is available.
yum install perl-Net-SSH2
I have tried by downloading an rpm file but the only one I can find is for el6 and it complains about the version of perl
yum localinstall perl-Net-SSH2-0.45-4.el6.x86_64.rpm
Requires: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.10.1)
I have tried downloading the source code but get told "Unable to find a working version of library ssh2 in the following directories" even though it is installed. (via yum install libssh2 libssh2-devel)
I have tried via cpan but get the same error "Unable to find a working version of library ssh2 in the following directories"
Any ideas? Google is very sketchy on this and only
OK, I solved this while writing the question. Seeing as information on this is limited I thought it would be worth posting the question anyway. The error message was giving the wrong information in that it was actually gcc that was missing, not libssh2. These are the steps I followed. I've tried to make it as verbatim as possible. I have not verified all these modules are required but this is what I installed before compiling it.
yum install libssh2 libssh2-devel
yum install openssl openssl-devel
yum install perl-Net-SSLeay
yum install gcc
Search for Net::SSH2 in google
Click the link "Net::SSH2 - search.cpan.org"
Download source code (tar.gz file)
Copy it to your redhat 7 machine
tar -xvf Net-SSH2-0.62.tar.gz
cd Net-SSH2-x.xx
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
Should all be working now, test it with
perl -e 'use Net::SSH2;'
