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 ``` ## Tay Ray Chuan, 2012-02-10 00:25 Subject: Re: fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https' Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CALUzUxq%3D5iJJNcXH-Xg1htZzGFVT4f5WQS%3Ddy4k7Y_mRemXMSw%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Have you installed libcurl4-(gnutls|openssl)-dev? You'll need to choose between gnutls and openssl for the underlying ssl implementation. -- Cheers, Ray Chuan On Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 5:51 AM, Nickolai Leschov wrote: > 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.

"Jaunty is long past EOL, and I don't think the PPA builders still work with it.  You can try the hardy or lucid builds." - andersk -- Hope this helps, David Barr ```
