Perhaps not. I have a hybrid engine mechanism where I build OpenSSL as a static 
library but as sharable code, link it statically into my own shared library 
(DLL on Windows, shared object on Linux/UNIX), and add an engine at runtime. 
The engine is implemented in my library, so it's not actually dynamically 
loaded, but it isn't statically linked into OpenSSL either. That seems to work 
fine, at least for 1.0.1 and 1.0.2.

(Of course, Configure doesn't actually support building OpenSSL as static 
libraries of sharable code, so we have to edit the configurations we use with 
each release. But such is life.)

Yes. I was assuming Andrew wanted CAPI support and had configured it 
explicitly, but that isn't a safe assumption. If he doesn't need it, then 
disabling it in the configure options is the most sensible course.

I've switched it off via the configure options.  All working fine now thank you.

Andrew
