This seems really weird. Firstly, doesn't OpenBSD use ELF? Shouldn't the library pull in the indirectly needed libraries automatically? But more to the point, why on *earth* would com_err depend on -lssl and -lcrypto? com_err is just a standard error handling library. Why would it fail to link without ssl and crypto libraries?!?! If it is necessary, putting in an "if portname = openbsd" is defeating the whole purpose of using autoconf here. Surely something like AC_SEARCH_LIBS(com_err, [krb5 'krb5 -lcrypto -ldes -lasn1 -lroken' 'com_err' 'com_err -lssl -lcrypto'], [], would be better since it would detect this situation regardless of what OS it's on. -- Gregory Stark http://mit.edu/~gsstark/resume.pdf -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
