I'm trying to install the latest version of putty GUI ssh client on my C5 box, but get the error:

./configure: line 2353: syntax error near unexpected token '1.2.0,' ./configure: "AM_PATH_GTK(1.2.0, all_targets="all-cli all-gtk", all_targets="all-cli)'

What am I missing? I thought I had GTK fully installed. Maybe I don't?

PuTTY is a GTK+ 1.x app. Please let it die.

I need a solution (commandline or otherwise) that will let me ssh through a socks proxy. What is a real-world .ssh/config line with ProxyCommand to look like that will work?

Thanks.

A quick look at the ssh_config and nc manpages indicates something like this should work in your .ssh/config:

Host {target} ProxyCommand /usr/bin/nc -X 5 -x {proxyip}:{proxyport} %h %p

where {target} is the FQDN of the target host, {proxyip} is the IP of the SOCKS proxy, and {proxyport} is the port of the SOCKS proxy. Change "-X 5" to "-X 4" if your SOCKS proxy is version 4 instead of 5. I haven't tested this, it's just extrapolation from the manpages.

Hope that helps!
