Well, no, there isn't. One reason is that Patrick hasn't had time to get
nightly snapshots working, so I'm embarrassed to talk about changes
immediately when we do them (eg. the recent really cool WvString ->
WvFastString/WvStringParm changes that get rid of the need for stupid
WvString::unique(), and the new experimental hierarchical WvConf stuff).

That's not good.

Building on NFS or something? You should check your clock.

I looked this up in google, and I found this message:
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/362/1997/9/0/2036587/
...which explains where the error comes from.
It appears the openssl guys goofed in 0.97beta. The prototype for the
d2i_RSAPrivateKey function in 0.9.6c, which I use, is like this:
d2i_RSAPrivateKey(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);
ie., without a const on the second parameter. The const should have been
done like this (I think):
const unsigned char * const *pp
...which would be entirely backwards-compatible with old versions of
openssl.
As it is, there's no way I can write code that compiles with both the old
and new openssl, so we'll have to stick with the non-beta openssl for now.

I'm using gcc 2.95.3 and openssl 0.9.6c, and it works. I'll cc: this
message to the openssl guys while I'm here.
Thanks!
