openssh configure error

William Harris_3 — Mon, 21 Apr 2003 20:46:51 GMT

i'm receiving the following message when attempting to execute configure for openssh 3.6.1:

configure: error: *** Can't find recent OpenSSL libcrypto

any ideas on how i can get beyond this?

thanks in advance,

LD_LIBRARY_PATH need NOT be set; LD_RUN_PATH MUST be set, but just in the
*compilation* environment.

Using sh or ksh, you can do:

LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib configure --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl

then:

LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib make

You should then get binaries that work fine, without any setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH
or LD_RUN_PATH:

Maybe this link will be helpfull. But it looks to me that you don't have all of the libraries installed or the make is looking in the wrong place.

According to the HP Porting & Archive Centre, OpenSSH 3.6.1 has the following dependencies:

libiconv openssl perl tcp_wrappers zlib

All are available at http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/, along with compiled and source versions of OpenSSH 3.6.1 (http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/Admin/openssh-3.6.1p1/)

i set the LD_RUN_PATH, and the libcrypto.a file is being accessed (ls -lu), however i still receive the error.

Hi,

Check the documentation for OpenSSH, you may find it requires a specific verion of OpenSSL and the library you have may be old, hence the wording "recent" in the error message.

It could be trying to locate a library function that may not exist in your version of OpenSSL. The B_Safe OpenSSL that comes with Apache 2.0.43 seemed to work OK for me.

Cheers...

I've been unable to reach either of the US mirrors of the HPUX Porting Center for several months.

I have been using the UK mirror:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/

The Wisconsin site has been saying it's "currently unavailable" for some time now, and the UT site doesn't respond at all.
