First, check to see that you're not able to have root rights via 'sudo'. If you can, you can just install it as a package. If you can't...
Use './config --prefix=$HOME' (or whatever you want the installation's root to be), set 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/ssl/lib:$HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH' in your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile script, and 'make install' when you're ready to go. Get ready to compile everything you need to use the library yourself. You will also need to use --with-ssl=$HOME with most autoconf-generated configure scripts. You can avoid setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH by linking everything statically, but I don't recommend it. (For additional information about issues you will likely encounter, and the meaning of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable as well as important caveats on its use, see the manpages for ld.so(1) and ldconfig(8).) -Kyle H On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 11:57 PM, fabermundi <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello, > I have to install openssl on a Computer with openSUSE where I don't have any > root rights. > Is this possible?
