Alas that didn't work. Even presetting CCFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and every other sort of flags I could find documented, and passing all the --with-xxx options specifying the full path locations to OpenSSL, the build process would find it using the C compiler, but then trample on the CPPFLAGS and fail to find them with the preprocessor, and then conclude that I didn't have OpenSSL installed (even though it had just successfully correctly identified my OpenSSL version in the previous step!) Much painful hand editing of configure scripts and makefiles later, it turns out that the http: vs. https: stuff doesn't make any significant difference. Oh well. Running svn under truss didn't help either -- no particular type of syscall stood out as being slow. Executive summary -- svn co on Solaris 8 is still *slow*! I"ll stick to fetching snapshots with wget. -- Andy Dougherty [EMAIL PROTECTED]
