Ok Sorry but I think I misunderstood the error message - I was assuming that where it says
ld: Unknown input file type: "../src/.libs/libssh2.so"
it was trying to tell me that it could not find that file - in fact it can find the file but does not like the contents of it
to prove this I noticed that libssh2.so was just a symbolic link to libssh2.so.1.1 and I removed the symbolic link and then got the message that the file could not be found so I recreated the link again to get the same error message
I am a attaching the config.log file
I have downloaded the latest version as well.
I am still looking into the 'git' business and apologies but I am not sure about the running of it on a different system first - none of my unix systems have this on .
Regarding the command I am calling I have taken the 'simple' route as described in the INSTALL file by running./configure with no parameters
Then I get the failure on the make when it comes to the 'tests' section
I have run a 'clean up ' as indicated in the INSTALL notes and started again so the config.log is up to date and the 2 files out.1 and out.2 are the capture of the output from the make command
Kind regards

You can perform the first three steps on any system with the
appropriate tools. I recommend using a Linux system with a rich set
of development tools. On debian or Ubuntu I think you might get them
all by installing the meta-package build-essential. An old
commercial UNIX is not useful for development, so make sure to use a
modern environment where all the useful tools are readily available.
Remember to send a complete transcript of the commands that you run
on the HP-UX system, starting with the command from step 4. In case
the email with full transcript and the config.log file is reject by
the mailing list because of size then please create a ticket on
http://trac.libssh2.org/
Thanks for helping make libssh2 better
