OS: RHEL 6.8 I installed OpenSSL 1.1.1b from source into /usr/local. Because it's RHEL, the libs are in /usr/local/lib64 (as set up by default with the OpenSSL "make install") which the configure script does not seem to know about. My workaround: before running configure for Python, set the environment variable: LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib64 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib64" Once that is set, configure manages to find the proper libssl: checking for openssl/ssl.h in /usr/local... yes checking whether compiling and linking against OpenSSL works... yes checking for X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host in libssl... yes ---------- nosy: +hairygristle _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34028> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
