Hi, Building lynx+ssl on a shared Debian host led me to look for rpath support in openssl.
I see in ./Configure that it's 'standard' for *BSD -- but not Linux. This straightforward, previosuly discussed post/patch, http://www.mail-archive.com/openssl-dev@openssl.org/msg20741.html seems to address the problem. For me, it works, cd openssl-0.9.8i patch -p1 < ../rpath_openssl.patch ./Configure --prefix=$HOME/ssl --openssldir=$HOME/ssl shared --with-rpath ... make depend make install pkg-config --libs libcrypto -Wl,-R/home/pg/ssl/lib -m64 -L/home/pg/ssl/lib -lcrypto -ldl -lz pkg-config --libs libssl -Wl,-R/home/pg/ssl/lib -m64 -L/home/pg/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lz Afaict, the patch was submitted, but never merged the code with the main codebase -- and I can find no further comments. The patch is helpful -- especially in shared-host & multiple-instance cases. Is there a particular reason it wasn't integrated? Can it be? Thanks. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
