Hello, im trying to install git from sources.
I get always curl-config command not found.

I've done apt-get install curl gcc

Any ideas about It?

This is far to little info to give you a sensible answer.

Are you comfortable with Linux? (i.e. do you know HOW to start a script or program if it's not in your path?)

Include as much detail as you think is needed to explain what you have been doing sofar.

Regards.

I'm trying to install git 1.6 from sources.
I did this steps:
ssh
su root
wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ ... 0.4.tar.gz
tar -vzxf
cd inside the newly created folder
make

I got command not found, so I did
apt-get install make
then make prefix=/usr/local all

Then I got curl-config error.
I've googled a while then I did a search inside my /usr/bin:
curl Is there but curl-config not.

I know I have libcurl3 installed properly.

I've tried adding etch sources in /etc/source.list then apt-get update.
Of course this was not so helpful.

So I issued apt-get install git-core and It went fine.
Actually I have a git 1.4 vers. working but some command Is a little different (i.e.: init-db instead of init) but It's not a problem.

Of course I would like to have a 1.6 git repository on my Bubba
that BTW Is a magic peace of HW !

As you understood I'm not so strong in Linux.

Thanks

curl-config is provided by the libcurl3-openssl-dev package.

THX Carl, unfortunately I got this:

microspino:/home/microspino/# apt-get install libcurl3-openssl-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libcurl3-openssl-dev: Depends: libcurl3 (= 7.15.5-1etch1) but 7.18.2-5 is to be installed
E: Broken packages


I've tried to reinstall libcurl3 with apt-get -reinstall install libcurl3 but It wasn't helpful.

Try to install libcurl4-openssl-dev instead
