Openssl and perl problem

[Dirk Wiedemann]

just reading your last messages:
run
/usr/bin/perl -v
and
/usr/contrib/bin/perl -v
to check the versions.

Hi Ollie and et al..

Thanks for the reply.

Attached is a file with the answers to your questions.

The file is an executable so it may look that perl is not installed properly!?!

Any ideas?

Hi Gerard,

Let's use another way - set the include directories explicitly:

# perl -help

...
-Idirectory specify @INC/#include directory (several -I's allowed)
...

ok, /usr/bin/perl is assumedly a link to /application/opt/perl/bin/perl5.6.1 (type ll /usr/bin/perl to check this). After all this is not a big problem if perl (v5) is running.
The problem is that the config file from openssl didn't find the libraries from perl5 at the expectet point.
Have a look where are your perl libraries:
"find / -name perl5db.pl"

Hi,

You need to link "/opt/perl" to the directory containing the perl "lib" directory, maybe "/application/opt/perl" in your case, so that "/opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/strict.pm" finds the right file.

Good luck,

Ollie.

Hi,

The perl libs are in the following directory -

/application/opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/perl5db.pl

I have tried to link the following directorys -

ln -s /application/opt/perl /opt/perl

But still no joy!!

Any other suggestions??

[Dirk Wiedemann]

Is the link being created and configure doesn't work or can't you create the link?

[Gerard McNeill]

The link is being created but the configure is still not working.

Still complaining about being unable to find stricit.pm

[Dirk Wiedemann]

Another test:
in openssl source directory type
./config -h
the last line shows which perl is called. Please submit the output.

Dirk,

Copied the stricit.rpm from /application/opt/perl/lib/5.6.1 to /opt/perl/lib/5.6.1.

This got the ./config to work.

HOWEVER when i now perform an 'make', i get the following -

$ make
+ rm -f libcrypto
+ rm -f libssl
making all in crypto...
