When Gutsy is installed and hamachi-init and hamachi won't output anything check this post.

Installing Hamachi on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon

I was able to install Hamachi on my Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon machine, but I had to do a couple of things in addition to what is included on the main page. Here are the steps I followed:

First, check the directory listing here to see if there is a more current version; only use the pentium version if it is appropriate for your hardware. Download it to your machine with:

wget http://files.hamachi.cc/linux/hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx-pentium.tar.gz

Then unpack it:

tar zxf hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx-pentium.tar.gz

And install it:

cd hamachi-0.9.9.9-20-lnx-pentium
sudo make install

Hamachi expects to see libcrypto version 0.9.7, but since Gutsy Gibbon installs version 0.9.8 it is necessary to symlink references to the old version to the updated files. First, change to the lib directory:

cd /usr/lib

Then create the symlink:

sudo ln -s libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so.0.9.7

Now you should be able to finish the basic hamachi setup:

hamachi-init

If you get an error at this point "install: cannot run strip: no such file or directory" then you need to install libstdc++5

sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

sudo tuncfg
hamachi start
hamachi login

At this point you should be able to use all of hamachi's features. Further discussion, including instructions for installing a nice gui can be found here.
