THE BEST tutorial for hamachi and linux.

Updating it for hardy if required?

Hardy needs a real tutorial on vmware-server running but I believe I’ll go onusng gutsy until the new release from vmware.

Wonderfull!

I had this little issue on my pIII 450 mhz:
installed the special tar for old_pentium machines and got this error when running hamachi-init: hamachi-init: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
fix: ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7

It is easy to install under windows. Just double click.

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 Beta with a KDE desktop under VirtualBox and thought I would try this out to see if it would get through the virtual computer.

I will pass. Really have better stuff to do.

Chalk one up for Windows over Linux.

you might want to interject this into the guide for x64 users:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

do this at or after installing upx-ucl-beta
(sudo apt-get install upc-ucl-beta ia32-libs)

This resolved my tunecfg issue in Ubuntu 8.04 Beta (64) when I went to install it on my laptop.

I would suggest doing the Following:
Just after unpacking the hamachi file (the tar.gz) do the following:
sudo apt-get install upx-ucl-beta

Once that is done, do the sudo make install hamachi, then run:

sudo upx-ucl-beta -d hamachi
sudo sh tunecfg/tunecfg

the latest (hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx) unpacks tunecfg into its own sub folder in the folder hamachi unpacked into.
you can continue with the install and it should go well there after. Well, atleast the part about hamachi as a service will, not sure about the gHamachi method (never used it).

I am having a similar problem. When I get to step 1.D.1 I can run the command “sudo hamachi-init -c /etc/hamachi” (using a terminal window)

all it does is drop down the prompt. example:

user@machine-name:~$ sudo hamachi-init -c /etc/hamachi

just returns…

user@machine-name:~$

up to this point everything seemed to be working fine. I am running the Gutsy gibbon version of xubuntu. Is there som pre-requisite that xubuntu does not have that the standard ubuntu does?

Maybe I just don’t know what I am doing, which is totally possible, but I am stuck. Once I get hamachi installed I can’t get the single user base configuration setup. When I do hamachi-init from the hamachi folder nothing happens.

Xubuntu (and Ubuntu) Gutsy 7.10 also works with: ‘cd /usr/bin’ and then ’sudo upx -d hamachi’ after running the ‘make install’ part of the other steps here(you may have to apt-get/download upx but it seemed available in the base 7.10 Xubuntu install).

Ubuntu gutsy has a problems starting hamachi, after make install, run upx-ucl-beta -d hamachi (from /usr/bin) This would need to be downloaded with its dependancy libucl.After that, it runs just fine !

i have ubuntu installed in a VM directly from the vmware appliances website.

I dont get any response for anything after the make install.

When i get make install i get:
Copying hamachi into /usr/bin ..
Creating hamachi-init symlink ..
Compiling tuncfg ..
Copying tuncfg into /sbin ..

Hamachi is installed. See README for what to do next.

but when i run sudo tuncfg, i get nothing, and when i try sudo hamachi-init (with or without: -c /etc/hamachi) I get nothing.

Please help! thanks

Anyone knows what to do?? thanks

I did everything explained here, but sitll have to run hamachi manually with “sudo hamachi start”. Tuncfg is running ok. As a newbie, I don’t know where to look next. Please help.

I found problems with the _gtk2 GUI - download the gHamachi_0.8.1.tar.gz file instead. It can be found at:
