Ok, first of all Linux server2.x.net 2.2.12-20 #1 Mon Sep 27 10:25:54 EDT 1999 i586 unknown gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release) I'm currently running OpenSSL 0.9.4, with little problems. We went to install Net:SSLeay and have had nothing but problems. I've poured over websites, over mailing lists (including this one) and while I see many answers that look like pieces of the trail, it's just not fixing what's wrong. So, here's what happens, followed by what I've tried. [root@server2 Net_SSLeay.pm-1.05]# make test Writing "Makefile.aperl" for this perl Checking for OpenSSL-0.9.3a or newer... I could not find your OpenSSL in `DIR=' Please provide OpenSSL-0.9.3a installation directory (get from http://www.openssl.org/ if you don't have it; please note that SSLeay is no longer supported, see README) (C-c to abort): /usr/local/ssl You have OpenSSL-0.9.4 installed in /usr/local/ssl That's is newer than what this module was tested with (0.9.3a). You should consider checking if there is a newer release of this module available. Everything will probably work OK, though.

Undefined symbol. I went through the readmes, tried a few things (like the files that are really in /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl, etc). No dice. I scanned this mailing list, and noticed that someone said that they had this same problem in BSD and that it had to do with cc and gcc not playing well together, so I went into the makefile manually and altered cc= to gcc and ld= to gcc and the LINKTYPE to static, after what I read here, and the above is the output after that attempt. I ran an nm on /usr/local/ssl/include/libssl.a and SSL_library_init is indeed in there, but I must confess, I don't really understand that output. Nor what I am supposed to do to make sure that the linking is working properly. The truly bizarre thing is that Net::SSLeay on another box of ours installs without a hitch with none of these problems on our other server with openssl-0.9.3a. And while I am about to go downgrade the box I am currently talking about to it to see if that fixes the problem, the main reason I am writing in is because according to what I've read, this SHOULD work on 0.9.4, so I'm confused, I guess. Has anyone encountered this and the gcc/static solution didn't work for them? Did you find a solution? ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
