Following your advice, I did the following:

===============================================
In compiling libss2-1.2, I didn't use the switch "-disable-shared". Will this pose a problem? What is the possible cause of the transfer failure?

Some other questions:
1. How come libtool gives me the warning /usr/lib/libssh2.la was moved. Haven't I pointed the library's location of libss2 to "/home/qxu/opensrc/libssh2-1.2/src/.libs"?
2. In the linking stage, why /usr/lib/libssh2.so is still looked for?
3. In the output of "./curl --version", it reported the version of libss2 is 0.18. Is it wrong?

Thanks for your help,
Xu Qiang
