However my problem is that lNET also include a file named openssl.pas,

does not have the
same methods included.
So wheneven I include OpenSSL as a unit in my program it ALWAYS
refer to
the one in lNET, presumable because it is a package - how do I
avoid this and
instead use/refer to the fpc one?
As Michael wrote it is not possible without unit renaming because
there is no notion of package in compiler.
The proper solution is to compile lNET package as a library (static
library doesn't supported AFAIK but DLL is ok).
Then write a small wrapper to import some types, classes, and
functions and use DLL with shared memory.
If you're required a really large interface of this package and then
large wrapper to write, you should better decompose your application
to compile some part as DLL with lNET package only.
Thank you for your suggestion - but to be honest I think the easiest
way for me is going to be: Use Lazarus to rename the OpenSSL unit
from lnet, which hopefully renames all reference within the package
itself.
But where did you install lnet from in the first place? Just update to
the latest version isn't that hard? I do not know which version you
are using, but if it is a recent one, the rename of the openssl unit
is the only change. ;)
I've been using the one from here:
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcprojects/lnet/tags/release_0_6_5
Btw: the openssl unit form lnet is exactly the same as the openssl
unit in fpc.
Maybe the trunk of lnet is updated, but otherwise there is actually a
large difference in the two units. A whole lot of RSA/PEM and other
certificate functions are not included in the lnet one. I made a quick
diff of the two files (lnet vs. fpc opensl) and it is more than 100K
bytes large... :)

Torsten.
