[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Download and extract libnetconf contents to a folder
2. cd libnetconf; ./configure

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: 
Configured successfully.

What i see:
checking for xslt-config... yes
checking for libssh2_version in -lssh2... no
configure: error: Missing libssh2.

I'm not able to reproduce this problem. According to config.log, it seems that 
you have another libxslt version installed in /usr/ciscos/packages/libxslt/ and 
your linker know about (and use) this path. Please, try to check configuration 
in your /etc/ld.so.conf (or ld.so.conf.d/) and then run
# ldconfig

I'm also unable to reproduce described behaviour with --disable-libssh2. When I 
use it, libssh2 checks are skipped.

Please, let me know if the ldconfig helped. If not, can you provide the 
complete config.log file as attachment?

Hello,

I figured out the problem. All I had to do was, install libxml2, libxslt
and libssh2 packages on my machine. After that i was able configure
successfully.

But I am running into another issue while executing 'make'

I get this error:
make
./libtool --tag=CC --quiet --mode=compile gcc -Wall
-I/ws/shhv-bgl/libssh2//include -I/ws/shhv-bgl/libxslt/include
-I/ws/shhv-bgl/libxml2//include/libxml2

.obj/src/error.lo
In file included from src/error.c:50:

src/netconf_internal.h:303: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
src/netconf_internal.h:306: error: syntax error before '}' token
make: *** [.obj/src/error.lo] Error 1

Is there a work around for this? how do i compile successfully?
