libssl is actually compiled 3 times. Ones for the default architecture which is i486, once for i586, and once for i686 with cmov. The dynamic linker should pick up the correct one. Can you verify that which version you pick up? You can see this with: ldd /usr/bin/openssl Can you also show /proc/cpuinfo? openssl also contains hand written assembler, which detects cpu capabilities as well. Maybe something is broken there. In any case would it be useful if you could give information about which function it was that has the problem. Can you install libssl1.0.0-dbg and run whatever you wanted to do from gdb and give me a backtrace? Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
