Hi guys,

I'm having trouble installing SSH into my university Home Directory (~).

I've got the ssh-1.27 sources, and configured with

./configure --prefix=~/downloads/ssh --with-etcdir=~/downloads/ssh/etc

It builds fine, but errors on make install. Originally it failed because --with-etcdir specified hasd no effect in the Makefile, so I manually edited it so that all paths were ~/downloads/ssh and then re-ran it, but once again I get an error, this time:

[ ... ] chmod 755 ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1 chmod: ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1: No such file or directory make: [install] Error 1 (ignored) chmod 755 ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh chmod: ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh: No such file or directory make: [install] Error 1 (ignored) mv ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1 ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1.old mv: ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1: No such file or directory make: [install] Error 1 (ignored) /usr/bin/install -c -o root -m 04711 ssh ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1 /usr/bin/install: ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1: No such file or directory make: *** [install] Error 1

Of course the file doesn't exist.

I just tried also configuring with disable-setuid or whatever it's called and this happens:

rm -f /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1.old chmod 755 /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1 chmod: /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1: No such file or directory make: [install] Error 1 (ignored) chmod 755 /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh chmod: /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh: No such file or directory make: [install] Error 1 (ignored) mv /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1 /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downlo ads/ssh/bin/ssh1.old mv: /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1: No such file or directory make: [install] Error 1 (ignored) /usr/bin/install -c -o root -m 0711 ssh /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bi n/ssh1 /usr/bin/install: /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1: Operation not permitted make: *** [install] Error 1

It clearly like to be root and nothing else.

Can anyone offer any ideas? My house telco line isn't installed until Tuesday week and I have a server in the US needing some attention that requires ssh to login.
