OpenSSL 0.9.8e is over 4 years old. I don't know about Ubuntu schedule, but I would hope they would have a newer version. Poking around a little, I find packages.ubuntu.com/natty has openssl-0.9.8o listed. But in case it matters, there was a visible change in 0.9.8j Jan2009 in use of extensions, and 0.9.8m Feb2010 and later specifically the renegotiation extension -- which was added partly to fix a serious Apache vulnerability! 2. Is the source you are building from a Ubuntu/Debian package (copied to your homedir?) or base release from www.openssl.org? If the former, are there any indications that it has been changed from base, and if so how, for example a patches list? 3. Did you do 'config' and with what result, or 'Configure' and with what option(s)? What do you have in the first noncomment block of the toplevel Makefile (and is it recent)? 4. Exactly what warnings did you get on 'make'? If they're too many, maybe the first 10 or so? For comparison, when I did 0.9.8e in 2007 on RedHat (config'ed as plain linux-elf with shared) with gcc 3.4.4, I got no such warnings on the sourcefiles you name, and all tests worked. 5. Try running a single simple test with output visible: cd $BUILDDIR/test ../util/shlib_wrap.sh ../apps/openssl x509 -in testx509.pem -text Do you get better error message(s)? Or even normal output? ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
