Many people seem to have trouble either installing hydra with SSL support, or getting xhydra working. I just installed it on Ubuntu 11.04 and I want to share with others. I gathered most of the installation procedure from this site: http://edwincastillo.com/archives/242.
Open a terminal.
Prepare for the installation-->
sudo apt-get install libssh-dev
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
wget -c http://thc.org/thc-hydra/releases/hydra-6.4-src.tar.gz
wget -c http://www.libssh.org/files/0.5/libssh-0.5.0.tar.gz
To be safe we install libssh (hydra has not like the libssh-dev package that comes with Ubuntu in previous releases)-->
tar -xvzf libssh-0.5.0.tar.gz
cd libssh-0.5.0
mkdir build
cd build
If you don't have cmake-->
sudo apt-get install cmake
Then-->
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug ..
make
sudo make install
cd ../..
Now to extract and install hydra-->
tar -xvzf hydra-6.4-src.tar.gz
cd hydra-6.4-src
./configure
make
sudo make install
Now to install xhydra (though it should be installed with the previous commands)-->
cd hydra-gtk
./configure
make
sudo make install
Start xhydra by opening terminal and-->
xhydra
I hope this helps!
Open a terminal.
