My guess is that you don't have the OpenSSL development package installed (this
contains headers and libraries that we need to link against). I don't use
Fedora, but a quick search indicates that the package is called
"openssl-devel". This may be the one you want:

On the kernel issue, my guess is that you don't have the kernel headers
installed. I think this is the package you likely want:

For maximum performance, you do need the kernel-based switch. If you run it
from userspace, then every packet has to make the kernel/userspace transition.

Right, this bypasses building the kernel module and SSL support...

If you're not going to use the kernel module, you need to use a slightly
different configuration. It's described below:

Note that you need to be working from the master branch in order to have
userspace support. The tarballs we've been putting up on the site are from the
"citrix" branch. You can get a snapshot of the master branch by clicking here:

If you follow those userspace instructions (or build the kernel module), you
shouldn't see these errors.
