Hi,

Even I faced the same problem. Downloading “glib-2.0″ and installing it would do the needful. Mail to me if you need some detailed explanation.

on ubuntu 10.04

# sudo apt-get install sshfs fuse-utils

then go head to mounting the same.

I kept on running into problems with missing packages. Specifically missing glib and gthread. The command that fixed it for me on RHEL 5 was:

yum install glib2-devel

At step 3 when execute ./configure I get this error:
configure: error: Package requirements (fuse >= 2.2 glib-2.0) were not met.
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Somehow the dynamic linking failed. Anybody knows how to solve this?

This is really helpful. But I cant view the files of my mounted directory unless I log in as root. How can I get rid of this problem? Any help will be appreciated

I am unable to read the files from an apache cgi script. That’d be great if I could… If I run the script via ssh, I can read the mounted files. If I run the script via a web browser, it’s a no go.

venkatakrishnan,

This is more than sufficient to install and use the sshfs. Do you have any problem?

what is the recommended way for this to operate in true user (aka w/o root permissions) or autofs type mode? I’d rather not suid fusermount

sshfs is nice, but I experienced problems when working with cvs on a mounted filesystem over sshfs. CVS just refused to work with something like “unable to get working directory” or something similar.

Another option is to install fuse RPMs via the ATrpms repository:

http://atrpms.net/

Then you can install the fuse-sshfs RPM from Fedora Core 6:

ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/fuse-sshfs-1.7-2.fc6.i386.rpm

I didn’t know that RedHat/CentOS didn’t include Fuse/SSHFS.

In Debian, we do things simply as:
`apt-get install sshfs fuse-utils`

sshfs host:/mount/point /mount/point
