Hi,
I'd like to raise that the Debian package imported to Ubuntu Natty
failed to build from source. A bug has been opened against this package
in Ubuntu [0].
I believe it is due to linker behaviour change in Natty:
"The linking behaviour was changed to not resolve symbols anymore
in indirectly linked shared libraries. A binary directly using
a symbol from a shared library has to link with this library.
Details can be found at [3], an analysis of required changes (and
some patches) for packages in main can be found at [4]. A list
of open issues is found at [5].
" -- [1]
This pretty much means that -lcrypto explicitly needs to be added where
-lssl is used. I've added a trivial patch [2] to the Ubuntu package to
achieve this, and seems to resolve the build failure. However, it
should probably be part of configure.ac.
