Hi,
I am compiling gt4.2 on solaris 2.9. The system has their openssl
pkg at a none-standard location. I tried to configure with --with-
openssl
setting on the top-level but it seems it is not being passed to the
gt4.2.0-all-source-installer/source-trees/gsi/openssl/source. checking
the configure at the toplevel, it is not one of optional flag but it
is for the configure at the openssl/source level.
anyway to force that configure option down to openssl/source's
configure
call ?
thanks

Where did you find a reference to the --with-openssl option? There are
a few things you can do to work around this.
To use the openssl version you have, you can set the environment
variables described in
http://dev.globus.org/wiki/C_Security:_Vendor_OpenSSL#Known_Issues_and_Workarounds
Briefly, this involves setting the OPENSSL_INCLUDES, OPENSSL_CFLAGS,
OPENSSL_LDFLAGS,
and OPENSSL_LIBS environment variables.
There's also an option to the installer's configure script to make it
build an old version of openssl and use that, but there have been a
few problems with that version in various situations, so it's not
recommended.
