enabling engines

[Aleix Conchillo Flaque]

hi,

i've just started testing an ncipher hardware module using openssl.

the "openssl" application seems to find the shared library
(libnfhwcrhk.so), with just specifying "-engine chil".

but my code, doesn't want to find the library. i get this error:

"error:25066067:DSO support routines:DLFCN_LOAD:could not load the shared
library:

may be openssl is compiled with some define that tells where to look for
shared libraries... i don't have any idea.

this is the code i use:

    ENGINE* engine_ = setup("chil");

    if(!::ENGINE_set_default(engine_, ENGINE_METHOD_ALL))
    {
        //error treatment
    }

    ENGINE*
    setup(char const* engine)
    {
        if (::ENGINE_by_id(engine) == NULL)
        {
            return NULL;
        }

        ENGINE* e = ::ENGINE_by_id("dynamic");
        if (e)
        {
            if (!::ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(e, "SO_PATH", engine.c_str(), 0)
                || !::ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(e, "LOAD", NULL, 0))
            {
                // fails in here
                e = NULL;
            }
        }
        return e;
    }

any ideas?

thanks in advance,

aleix
