OpenSSH won't install properly...missing opensll header

English Applications
1

Hey everyone I was trying to install openSSH on my computer and when I ran ./configure eventually came to this error:

checking for openssl/opensslv.h… no
configure: error: *** OpenSSL headers missing - please install first or check config.log ***

I would really appreciate any help you guys could give. Thank you.

Why are you installing from source? openSUSE provides an openssh package already.

…I was unaware of that

Usually it’s also installed by default unless you chose otherwise. Start
the server with the following:

sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start

and set to start at bootup with the following:

sudo /sbin/chkconfig sshd on

Open the default SSH port via Yast if needed:

sudo /sbin/yast firewall

And the ‘ssh’ client is in your path by default if you want to access a
remote system.

Good luck.
