Hi Mr Hobbelt, I have followed your advice, and tried compiling the latest snapshot of 0.9.9. It finishes compiling, and even installs on my system. My system is Ubuntu 8.04. These are the steps i took to compile OpenSSL : ./config --prefix=/home/zero/test --openssldir=/home/zero/test/openssl no-shared make make test make install However, when I link my program to the static library, I get these errors : /home/zero/test/lib/libssl.a(s3_enc.o): In function `ssl3_change_cipher_state': s3_enc.c:(.text+0xa38): undefined reference to `COMP_CTX_free' s3_enc.c:(.text+0xa4e): undefined reference to `COMP_CTX_new' s3_enc.c:(.text+0xa9e): undefined reference to `EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup' s3_enc.c:(.text+0xad5): undefined reference to `COMP_CTX_free' s3_enc.c:(.text+0xaeb): undefined reference to `COMP_CTX_new' I get these in addition to a whole load of other "undefined references". So, to make sure I was doing the compilation steps properly, I tried again with 0.9.8i. No luck either, it seems I still get the same problem. Seems like I am doing something wrong in my compilation steps. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
