Hopefuly someone will be able to save me, before I destroy my system too bad. I am trying to compile mysql 4.1.0 alpha with openssl support. I know I have everything needed installed on my system, gcc 3.2.2, and two copies of openssl. I originaly tried installing with the rpm, to hopefuly be less of a head ache, but ended up being more of one. So I am going through and just compile from source code. From what I found out the hard way, this version only wants 0.9.6, won't accept 0.9.7 shared files. So I installed 0.9.6 in a different location and made the shared files, but I am unable to get the compiler to use the correct location for openssl. It always goes back to the default location which has 0.9.7 and fails. Right now 0.9.7 is installed in it's default location, and I installed 0.9.6 in "/usr/local/openssl096". Is there a command or some commands that will tell the compiler use the new location over default?
Thanks, Chris
