openssl-users is probably more appropriate than this development list,
but...

My non-expert understanding is you're only missing the shared libs (.so)
everything else is symlinks.  Add "shared" to your ./Configure line.



Thanks for the reply.... what is the email address for the user group. Sorry.

So I managed to get the libraries I was looking for by adding the shared to the ./Configure command. THis create several sym. links to the same files whick is the way I presume it should be working. Now however when I take the package and install it to a clean machine I'm getting file/link not found.

I attempted to launch openssl from the command line in the bin directory and get the following error.

# ./openssl
ld.so.1: ./openssl: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.7: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

Now the file libssl.so.0.9.7 is there. It's located in the /usr/local/ssl/lib directory. Can anyone lead me in the right direction. Please note I'm not a developer, I'm a sys admin so I don't really understand what I'm doing when it comes to linking libraries and all that's associated.
