Thanks I have found teh root cause of the problem ... --with-openssl=[my_dir] The configure scripts has an assumption you are compiling against a binary packaged version of openssl and that there is a /lib folder under [my_dir]. This simply does not exist under any of the source code releases of openssl. So after I compiled the openssl source code I had to create the lib folder under my openssh build directory and symlink the *.so libraries there for the configure script to work This is still an issue even if you edit Setup correctlty to compile the module. >> This is a problem for people like me who are institutional users that have >> cross platform enterprise softwre deployment platforms (e.g. BladeLogic). >> There are restricted policies on what packages you can install on a server. >> In most cases especially for in house developed software) you need to build >> all dependencies seperatly and bundle them into a package (e.g. /opt RPM) >> that includes all required depencencies rather than rely on distribution >> library packages that are hard to manage at an Enterprise level and where >> you may be sharing the same OS. To make the code more robust should it not 1st check under the root of [my_dir] before assuming [my_dir]/lib exests or at least report teh full path with the /lib added onto teh end of {my_dir} so you know where confiure has gone wrong ? Is this not a fair expectation? no lib folder checking for openssl/ssl.h in /home/BD7046/openssl... no checking whether compiling and linking against OpenSSL works... no with lib folder checking for openssl/ssl.h in /home/BC7046/openssl... yes checking whether compiling and linking against OpenSSL works... yes Thanks for all your help #PortingPerltoPython ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34028> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
