I landed here once because I was working with git itself. When I built it the default makefile installed the binary in ~/bin/git. Since my PATH had ~/bin first when I ran 'git pull --rebase' it used the one in ~/bin and consequently could not locate the helpers.

I worked around the issue by running '/usr/bin/git ...' with a full path (alternatively I could have adjusted my PATH).

On Mac OS X 10 9 Mavericks  the solution that worked is as follows  rvm pkg install openssl CC  usr local bin gcc-4 2 CPP  usr local bin cpp-4 2 CXX  usr local bin g  -4 2  rvm install 1 9 3 --with-openssl-dir  rvm path usr   This is to compile Ruby with OpenSSL Support  Next  uninstall all the old versions   brew uninstall openssl brew uninstall curl brew uninstall git   Next  install the updated versions  The git installation is dependent on an updated version of CURL   brew install openssl brew install curl brew install git

I had the exact same issue and it boiled down to an unmet dependency  however  I tried the accepted answer s solution and it did not work   What finally worked for me was installing all of the following  this is RedHat    sudo yum install curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel openssl-devel zlib-devel   Afterwards  I ran the other commands as specified and it worked     configure make sudo make prefix  usr local install   I pulled the list of dependencies directly from Git s website  Apparently I should have started there

It looks like not having  lib curl-devel installed when you compile git can cause this    If you install  lib curl-devel  and then rebuild install git  this should solve the problem     yum install curl-devel     cd to wherever the source for git is   cd  usr local src git-1 7 9       configure   make   make install   This worked for me on Centos 6 3    If you don t have yum  you can download the source to curl-devel here        http   curl haxx se dlwiz  type devel     If you are running Ubuntu instead   sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
