Hello,

I have compiled git 1.7.9 from source on Ubuntu 9.04 and I get the following message when cloning a git repo:

fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'

I get this message when I try to use https; or similar one for http. Only cloning via git:// protocol works. My system is Ubuntu 9.04 i386. git 1.7.9 and two previous versions I tried all exhibit this problem. I have uninstalled the git that comes in Ubuntu repositories and build from source instead because I need a newer version.

How can I make git work on that system?

I have another system with Ubuntu 11.04 i386 and it there git 1.7.4.1 (from repositories) doesn't exhibit such problem.

Best regards,
Nickolai Leschov
