I had the same problem on HP-UX 10.20, but when I recompiled openssl with CFLAGS='-fPIC' (or CFLAGS='+Z' if you are not using gcc) I did over come this problem. I have all kind of other problem (appearently to do with using gcc) which I am still asking people about (as I am not a C programmer), but this is one I did manage to solve. I can remember if I did "CFLAGS='+Z' ./configure" or if I had to change the makefile.

I followed the instructions and successfully compiled the 'openssl-0.9.6' module on my HP server. However, I went ahead and tried to compile the Crypt::SSLeay module and continue to get the following error. # make LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/local/ssl/lib" ld -o blib/arch/auto/Crypt/SSLeay/SSLea y.sl -b -L/usr/local/lib SSLeay.o -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto ld: DP relative code in file /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.a(s2_clnt.o) - shared library must be position independent. Use +z or +Z to recompile. *** Error exit code 1 Stop. Two Questions . . . 1) Has anyone every successfully compiled this module on an HP server running HP-UX 11.00 (64 bit)? 2) If so, is there any information on this regarding how to successfully compile it. What do I do with the information listed above and how do I get the compile to work. Please let me know . . . I am running out of alternatives and about to conclude that it cannot be compiled on an HP server. Brian Thomas Cisco Systems, Inc.
