trying to compile links: OpenSSL

trying to compile links: OpenSSL

[Cheryl Homiak]

I'm trying to compile links. Even though I have the debian openssl package
installed, the ./configure keeps coming back with "checking for OpenSSL" no.
I do notice that at the --with-ssl option in the --help it says (=directory);
I've tried both the directory of the binary and the directory of the conf file
but without success. Does anybody know if I'm missing something I should do here
or if there's more to OpenSSL in debian than just the openssl package?
By the way, it does the --enable-javascript with no problem.

You probably need to specify the directory which contains libssl.so and
libcrypto.so. If this doesn't work, let me know and I'll experiment a bit.

Well, I found libssl.so.0.9.6 and libcrypt.so (same version; note the crypt: I
didn't find a crypto) in /usr/lib. But running
./configure --enable-javascript --with-ssl=/usr/lib
didn't work. or at least it still didn't include ssl. If I do it without a
driectory, it ends with an error "configure error: OpenSSL not found); if I put
a directory in
there's no error but ssl isn't included.

I take that back; there is also a libcrypto.so but it is also in /usr/lib so
that wouldn't have changed the directory I indicated.

You definitely need libcrypto. That, I'm sure, is why ./configure is
complaining. Perhaps Debian packages openssl differently and you need yet
another package.
