Got it working but then I had some issues with the perl portions of the install and I subsequently thought I could eliminate those portions and tried setting export NO_PERL=1 and that installed everything else...and got pass this error but when I tried to checkout a git repository as follows, I get some remote helper error. Is that related to the perl parts of the git? git clone https://github.com/m-labs/migen.git Cloning into 'migen'... fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https' ******************* install -d -m 755 '/home/ssheikh/local/libexec/git-core' install git-credential-store git-daemon git-fast-import git-http-backend git-imap-send git-sh-i18n--envsubst git-shell git-show-index git-upload-pack git-remote-testsvn git-credential-cache git-credential-cache--daemon git-am git-bisect git-difftool--helper git-filter-branch git-lost-found git-merge-octopus git-merge-one-file git-merge-resolve git-mergetool git-pull git-quiltimport git-rebase git-repack git-request-pull git-stash git-submodule git-web--browse git-add--interactive git-difftool git-archimport git-cvsexportcommit git-cvsimport git-cvsserver git-relink git-send-email git-svn git-remote-testpy git-p4 git-instaweb '/home/ssheikh/local/libexec/git-core' install -m 644 git-mergetool--lib git-parse-remote git-rebase--am git-rebase--interactive git-rebase--merge git-sh-setup git-sh-i18n '/home/ssheikh/local/libexec/git-core' install git git-upload-pack git-receive-pack git-upload-archive git-shell git-cvsserver '/home/ssheikh/local/bin' make -C templates DESTDIR='' install make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ssheikh/Downloads/git-1.8.3.4/templates' install -d -m 755 '/home/ssheikh/local/share/git-core/templates' (cd blt && gtar cf - .) | \ (cd '/home/ssheikh/local/share/git-core/templates' && umask 022 && gtar xof -) make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ssheikh/Downloads/git-1.8.3.4/templates' install -d -m 755 '/home/ssheikh/local/libexec/git-core/mergetools' install -m 644 mergetools/* '/home/ssheikh/local/libexec/git-core/mergetools' install -d -m 755 '/home/ssheikh/local/share/locale' (cd po/build/locale && gtar cf - .) | \ (cd '/home/ssheikh/local/share/locale' && umask 022 && gtar xof -) make -C perl prefix='/home/ssheikh/local' DESTDIR='' install make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ssheikh/Downloads/git-1.8.3.4/perl' make[2]: Entering directory `/home/ssheikh/Downloads/git-1.8.3.4/perl' mkdir /usr/local/lib64/perl5: Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 112 make[2]: *** [pure_site_install] Error 13 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ssheikh/Downloads/git-1.8.3.4/perl' make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ssheikh/Downloads/git-1.8.3.4/perl' make: *** [install] Error 2 ********************************************************* -- View this message in context: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/libz-and-RHEL-5-9-compile-of-Git-tp7602374p7602400.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
