Hi folks, there are two problems with shared OpenSSL libraries on Linux for version 0.9.6c as I see it:
The library is installed as libssl.so.0.9.6, so it overwrites libssl-0.9.6[ab] libraries. But it is not binary compatible IIRC, so applications linked to it fail and have to be recompiled. Installing it as libssl.so.0.9.6c with the same so-name should solve this. The library has so-name libssl-0.9.6, but this structure is created: libssl.so -> libssl.so.0 libssl.so.0 -> libssl.so.0.9.6 This has no meaning: it should just create this structure: libssl.so -> libssl.so.0.9.6 If the so-name was libssl.so.0, the above would be correct (but that in turn would imply that all libssl.so.0 libraries would be upward compatible, which is not the case).
