The Coolstack and the Webstack both use the system's SSL bindings. Coolstack symlinks it: libssl.so.0.9.7 => /usr/sfw/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jul 13 2009 /opt/coolstack/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 -> /usr/sfw/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 while webstack links it directly: libcrypto.so.0.9.7 => /usr/sfw/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 Bye, -- Igor Galić Tel: +43 (0) 699 122 96 338 Fax: +43(0) 1 91 333 41 Mail: i.ga...@brainsware.org URL: http://brainsware.org/
