Hello,

just an update. I tried the same on a Linux VM with a very similar result.
Though the error message is different. This is either a result of different gcc versions
or the linux box just hasn't had the /usr/local/lib or /usr/local/include folder in it's PATH.

configure on the linux Box showed:

configure: summary of build options:

  version: 1.4.2
  Host type: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
  Install prefix: /usr/local
  Compiler: gcc
  Compiler flags: -g -O2
  Library types: Shared=yes, Static=yes
  Crypto library: openssl: no (AES-CTR: N/A) libgcrypt: yes
  Debug build: no
  Build examples: yes
  Path to sshd: (only for self-tests)
  libz compression: no

And the build with % gcc -v ssh2_agent.c -o testBuild

showed up as below. Here the arch is the same.

Using built-in specs.
