Hmh. Can you tell me which process you used to find and download the thing you wound up with? As for alternative downloads, we currently only push release to GitHub. Lots of Linux distributions include the driver as part of the repositories, so you might be able to install it through them. |

Thanks Hannes, that was very non-intuitive. Another caveat - customer claims this github location is blocked by their firewall. Do we have an alternative location for download? |

Please download the releases, not git checkouts or the github "download archives". Compiling from a git clone is only for developers of mongoc (and requires to run ./autogen.sh), while the github "download archives" are missing the generated configure scripts which the releases have. The current release is 1.3.5 (with 1.4.0 being in beta0). |
