configure: error: Missing the libssh_threads library. #273

On ./configure, I get configure: error: Missing the libssh_threads library..

Note that this is not libssh which I have at the latest version:

extra/libssh 0.8.2-1 (186.1 KiB 614.0 KiB) (Installed)
    Library for accessing ssh client services through C libraries
core/libssh2 1.8.0-2 (180.2 KiB 346.0 KiB) (Installed)
    A library implementing the SSH2 protocol as defined by Internet Drafts

This seems to be a biproduct of earlier versions of libssh. While looking for answers, I've found the following libssh 0.8 supports threading, and the specific libssh_threads.so library has been dropped. Packages go to staging on the TODO page of ArchLinux (https://www.archlinux.org/todo/).

Would you update to the latest libssh version?

The same thing happened to me on Ubuntu 18.04.01! Hope someone will update the libssh as soon as possible! :)

Well, to be fair and not too pedantic on your wording, action seems to be required on the libnetconf side. What I suggested was that they update to the latest libssh version in the form of support for pre-0.80 versions and post-0.80 versions separately as now only pre-0.80 versions are supported.

You are actually right, because I have tried many different versions of libssh and always the same scenario happens: when I run command ./configure, it says configure: error: Missing the libssh_threads library.

Btw. a friend of mine has an older version of libnetconf library and we will try it. I'll let you know what happened later.

Hi, it should work now also with libssh version 0.8.0 and newer. However, it is already long past libnetconf support has finished so you should have been using libnetconf2.
