Try keeping the libssh.h file locally in your project. Like inside a thirdparty folder, for example. Here is a project that does that: https://github.com/erdetn/vplot

Afaik the problem is that both V and libssh define function for stings. Both are note prefixed with a namespace. Both just call them string_whatever. Libssh does this for backwardscompatibility, while V just does this.
