Hi Bill, Thanks for your help. I was able to compile the FIPS module after installing GNU ar. Now off to compile and install OpenSSL 0.9.7m.
BTW, when this is done, can I archive/tarup the /usr/local/ssl directory and copy it to another Sun server running the same h/w and OS version and have it work properly?

I don't think this is your issue. The for loop appears to be trying to ensure that each of the .o files in the list is not in the libcrypto.a archive. Normally at this point they are not there anyways. > Do you know if I should be using a > different ar other than what comes with Solaris? This may be it. After doing "./config fips" and "make", if I do the following: cd fips-1.0 ar p ../libcrypto.a aes_cbc.o I get the response: no entry aes_cbc.o in archive and the command: ar d ../libcrypto.a aes_cbc.o yields no response and an error code of 0 (echo $? is 0), where your version of ar are seems to be indicating an error as a result of the object module not being in the archive. If you enter "ar V" you should get the version of ar. On my system I see: GNU ar 2.16.1 Copyright 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Hope this helps.
