That's due to the function pointer issues which gcc 4.2 and later doesn't like: this was fixed in newer versions of OpenSSL. Do you need TLS extensions on the client/server? If not try compiling OpenSSL with no-tlsext. Did you say what version of OpenSSL the failing client was using on Windows? It is strange that this doesn't happen straight away. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N.
