I downloaded and extracted the files...I can browse the directory and see that those files are there. What am i doing wrong? I get more than what i pasted above....those are just the errors when it quits. Any help is appreciated.

Looks like i needed to install libdev for openssl as well...even though i had openssl already installed.

So does that mean..... it is "solved" by doing what was the recommended first procedure....following command to install all prerequisites ?
