Hi, I installed git 1.8.5.4 from source under $HOME/bin. My system is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 (x86_64). I followed instructions and just run make && make install.
After installation I cannot clone repos from https urls, getting the following error: $ git clone https://github.com/apbarrero/pyrad.git Cloning into 'pyrad'... fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https' I checked that git is properly compiled against libcurl-devel and libexpat-devel packages. Then I tryed using git-remote-https installed under $HOME/bin/libexec/git-core/ and it worked fine to connect to the same remote: $ $HOME/libexec/git-core/git-remote-https https://github.com/apbarrero/pyrad.git capabilities fetch option push check-connectivity list @refs/heads/master HEAD 9599cf833354793b81d2a47504826332473bcb12 refs/heads/master 1f8f2b995bb5ab55e6c6f1051ccb44875ab1e60d refs/tags/0.6 68552227901d377b513884c70d9582da0329a270 refs/tags/0.6^{} e0cd958edc5b3aad7e31435990674e2cff4e3b7e refs/tags/0.7 c50213b2d4213f3574c1a6b454e6887a529de340 refs/tags/0.7^{} 6085deb4ee37862d65f4a26f472fa2d1894a4331 refs/tags/0.8 33902c5b3da1272a4f5930815f561b8068315ba3 refs/tags/0.8^{} 5a45639faaf1cbf7622fe47e2795d6f5a0ee6658 refs/tags/0.9 edd69b9014d7e5bbf9da203d7db9a26587756aa4 refs/tags/0.9^{} 6e3b16ed19b329be944bd1b10aa17d02eb473009 refs/tags/1.0 30beedc5c4e56a15f4025d25331515aa2a917234 refs/tags/1.0^{} dacf4bd37aaddd3872faeb8a77c801fe3c8550cb refs/tags/1.1 4c3e2d6700947ca6ea7b3319ff52abb7029bf3be refs/tags/1.1^{} 9a7f5a4e9fe19ef9f45db4e28a7d4648a011cc9b refs/tags/1.2 ee7ec8f2b37da5e84bf0fbb83e214a8bd3cfdf70 refs/tags/1.2^{} e16af24d814e8d8c83b172ca6103fd3ab93b08db refs/tags/2.0 ce4a625caf5c6d892e020ec150373043a203366e refs/tags/2.0^{} I looked at this post in stackoverflow and use strace to find out git clone is trying to look for remote helpers under $HOME/bin/libexec/git-core, but make install left the libexec/git-core directory under $HOME, instead of$HOME/bin. ...

Creating a soft link under $HOME/bin/ to ../libexec got it working. So it look like it is rather an installation issue or a bug in the directory list where git looks for binaries under libexec or I missed some parameter to pass to make.
