hi Nicholas, i too just waded through my first qmail-toaster install and, in my case, and openssl did not work, on the first try, for me either. i was installing on a stock RedHat 7.2 box (from Rackspace) and, as Bill mentions in the "Prerequisites" section, of the toaster docs: If you are using an rpm based distro, an easy way to check [for ssl] is to issue these commands: rpm -q openssl rpm -q openssl-devel i'm not familiar with Cobalt, but in my case the system had openssl installed, but not openssl-devel, so i went to rpmfind.net to get binaries. although i found rpm's for openssl version 0.97b, these would not install on this (older) RH 7.2 system, so i downgraded to openssl-0.9.6b-30.7 (and openssl-devel-0.9.6b-30.7). these installed just fine, and the rest, as they say, was as easy as toast. hth, -dave
