need help with LFTP

Post by snowD » 2012/03/15 15:32:21

working on Centos 5.8 in a VM environment

I need some help with LFTP :


[code]configure: error: Package requirements (gnutls >= 1.0.0) were not met: No package 'gnutls' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBGNUTLS_CFLAGS and LIBGNUTLS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.[/code]

i get this error after i fixed Readline-devel and Glibc-devel (both took atleast 30 minutes to find a solution).

i got the [code]gnutls-1.4.1-3.el5_4.8.i386.rpm[/code] installed though.



Ps. looking at the version numbers is this still supported?

Welcome to the CentOS fora. Please see the recommended reading for new users linked in my signature.

Please read about [url=http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14408&forum=47]Installing Software[/url] and [url=http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories]Repositories[/url], and note the warnings and advice about installing and configuring the [url=http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities]yum priorities plugin[/url]. Non-core repos should have a higher numeric value, which is a lower priority. Lower is "better" as in golf scores.

Please pay particular attention to the evils of [url=http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/SourceInstalls]Source Installs[/url]. Source installs as root are particularly dangerous.

It's not clear what you are trying to configure. If you need lftp then [code]yum install lftp[/code]

For archival purposes I figured I add my solution. I think the only thing you were missing was the gnutls-devel package. I recently ran into the same issue with Centos 6.7. The version of lftp through yum was producing segmentation fault as described here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=551062. The only solution I could come up with was to install from source. Here are the commands I went through to accomplish that.

Code: Select all

yum remove lftp
wget http://lftp.yar.ru/ftp/lftp-4.6.4.tar.gz
tar -xvf lftp-4.6.4.tar.gz
cd lftp-4.6.4
yum install readline-devel
yum install gnutls-devel
./configure
make
sudo make install
ln -s /usr/local/bin/lftp /usr/bin/lftp
lftp -v
