[git-users] git can't find remote helper for https (but it's there)
Hi,
I installed git 1.8.5.4 from source under $HOME/bin. My system is SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 (x86_64)
After installation I cannot clone repos from https urls, getting the
following error:
$ git clone https://github.com/apbarrero/pyrad.git
Cloning into 'pyrad'...
fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'
I checked that git is properly compiled against libcurl-devel and
libexpat-devel packages. Then I tryed using git-remote-https installed
under $HOME/bin/libexec/git-core/ and it worked fine to connect to the same
remote:
$ $HOME/libexec/git-core/git-remote-https
https://github.com/apbarrero/pyrad.git
capabilities
fetch

So I guess it's an installation problem. Any clue on how git locates remote
helpers installed in the system?
Thanks.
Antonio

I looked at this post in stackoverflowhttp://stackoverflow.com/a/16946531/198011 and use strace to find out git clone is trying to look for remote helpers under $HOME/bin/libexec/git-core, but make install left the libexec/git-coredirectory under$HOME, instead of $HOME/bin. Creating a soft link under $HOME/bin/ to ../libexec got it working. So it is rather an installation issue or a bug in the directory list where git looks for binaries under libexec.

I don't know much about the remote helpers stuff unfortunately. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

Just followed first paragraph in INSTALL an run: $ make make install But I found it was my environment that was wrong, not a git build system issue. I had GIT_EXEC_PATH pointing to an NFS directory where an older version of git-core binaries was installed, just unsetting the env variable makes git installation under $HOME/bin work, even removing the soft link to ../libexec. Thanks for helping!

This sounds like it could be a bug in the git build system, but judging if it is would require the exact build steps you ran. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups Git for human beings group.
