Subject: fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'http'
Message-ID: <811C439C44639E429301EB1083399FA302F1853F@CINMLVEM12.e2k.ad.ge.com>

I recently compiled git on a red-hat linux system.  There were not compile
errors.  But, when I try to use git to clone a repository, I receive the
following error:

	fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'http'

I am behind a firewall and cannot use the "git" protocol.  I have
exhaustively tried variations of the http_proxy environmental variable,
without any visible difference.  As far as I am aware, there is no other
information to help me debug this problem.  Can someone please help me?


Thank you!
