HOWTO: Installing Hamachi 0.9.9.9

[MicroChris]

To install Hamachi:

-Download hamachi-0.9.9.9-7.tar.gz (link)

-Extract the folder to your Desktop

cd home/$USER$/Desktop/hamachi-0.9.9.9-7

Then:

install -m 755 hamachi /usr/bin

ln -sf /usr/bin/hamachi /usr/bin/hamachi-init

install -s -m 700 tuncfg/tuncfg /sbin

After that, try running(root):

tuncfg
hamachi-init


Try some commands which are supplied in the README. I still have not figured out a way to actually access users, but I can install it.

These commands
install -m 755 hamachi /usr/bin
ln -sf /usr/bin/hamachi /usr/bin/hamachi-init
install -s -m 700 tuncfg/tuncfg /sbin
have to run with sudo.

and a gui for hamachi for linux is available here: http://forums.hamachi.cc/viewtopic.php?t=2488

simply untar and copy to your /usr/bin directory

GUI doesn't display well with composite on.Gives me a lot of problems.Disable composite.

Otherwise, a nice app.Version 0.9.9.9-7 is old though.

Im getting

hamachi: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when i do hamachi-init

i downloaded libcrypto.so.0.9.7-1.rpm and made it a .deb using alien, i installed it and still the same error, what else can i do?

[anabelle]

i solved it installing libssl0.9.7 using adept

[sin]

you can make it see the network by setting localhost to the hamachi ip in /etc/hosts, but that generates further issues. i'm still looking for a viable solution.

[somethings90]

When I try that I get the error "cd home/$USER$/Desktop/hamachi-0.9.9.9-20"

hamachi-0.9.9.9-20 is the latest version.

Not trying to start a flame war - am just totally frustrated and want to vent. I LOVE Ubuntu and will never go back to Windows. But if a program is not in a repository, it is a serious, serious pain in the @$$ to install in Ubuntu. I usually try to avoid it altogether. Nothing in this thread (and actually, one other and a blog as well!) has worked. As much as it pains me to admit it, this is one area where Micro$uck has a slight advantage over Ubuntu - it's nice to just download/double click to install a program. I give up on Hamachi for Ubuntu - end of rant - Ubuntu is still #1 and I'm really not as big of a jerk as I seem. Moderator, please feel free to delete this response, though I hope you'll leave it up for other folks who feel as I do.

Mattzink i couldn't agree more. i am beyond frustrated at the moment.
