No big thing just trying to install git since it is not in the default corporate yum repositories.
First problem it fails missing zlib.h so go grab your zlib-devel package.
The next one was more subtle, it configures and makes happily enough, but when you go to use it… bang!
[virtuser@sss01 ~]$ git clone https://[email protected]/sgwilbur/database-scripts.git
Cloning into 'database-scripts'...
fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'
what-the-huh ?
A bit of google magic, even though I have curl as required I did not have curl-devel… sigh
Install curl-devel with your favorite package manager and you should be ready to configure, make, sudo make install again with a working git client!
