Can not get it to run (ImportError: undefined symbol: libssh2_channel_request_auth_agent)

[Appa4477]

Distributor ID: LinuxMint Description: Linux Mint 19 Tara Release: 19 Codename: tara In a VM

python version: 2.7.15~rc1-1 libssh2-1: 1.8.0-1

I have reinstalled libssh2 tried different versions, just about everything I have ever done before to problem solve. Nothing seems to work

Just trying to run the import causes the error aswell

command producing error:

python perf_test_ssh2.py

Error: python perf_test_ssh2.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "perf_test_ssh2.py", line 11, in from ssh2.session import Session File "ssh2/channel.pxd", line 24, in init ssh2.session ImportError: /home/(MY_USER)/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ssh2/channel.so: undefined symbol: libssh2_channel_request_auth_agent

Hi there,

Thanks for the interest and report.

See building from source instructions here, or use one of the pre-built binary wheels. The embedded libssh2 sources need to be used, or see the dockerfiles for how to disable agent forwarding integration.

After lots of problem solving and installing about 3gb of libs i had to uninstall the libssh2-1 and libssh2-1-dev and from there i was able to build libssh2 from src and able to use the module.

(Anyone using ubuntu the following commands did the trick)

I will come back and revise after I replicate with a clean install

apt purge libssh2-1 libssh2-1-dev -y; apt autoremove -y git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ParallelSSH/parallel-ssh.git cd parallelssh sudo ./ci/install-ssh2.sh python setup.py build_ext -I /usr/local/include -R /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -L /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu python setup.py install

Thanks for the info.

Those steps are also documented at build from source - suggestions welcome. See #37 for automating these steps.
