Re: linux: cannot load ssl library
I've added some details to the bug report. In addition to the distros I listed above, Ubuntu and Fedora do NOT have the symlink. Slackware, arch, gentoo are the only distros I could find that do have the symlink. My guess is that rev's support for SSL on Linux can only have been tested on one of the latter distributions. Yet looking at distrowatch, the three most popular distros are Ubuntu, Fedora, and OpenSuSe. Three years ago Fedora and Suse were still in the top three (along with mandrake). Very strange.

Re: linux: cannot load ssl library
I wrote to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (first time I've ever done that with a technical support issue - I'm glad to report that I got a prompt answer, and it fixed the problem). Here's the answer for anyone else who comes along - the library for openssl must be symlinked thus: sudo ln -s path to libssl.so.0.9.* /usr/lib/libssl.so I just checked on three different mainstream linux distros, and none had a symlink from libssl.so to the openssl library. This leads me to believe that any linux standalone that relies on encryption or https will fail too because these links will not exist. I am entering in the bug report that runrev need to find a better way to do this.

Re: linux: cannot load ssl library
Don't feel bad, the SSL support doesn't work on Mac OS X either (or at least not 100% consistent).. It seems to work better in Rev 3.0.0 in Mac OS X and with my limited testing in Vista so there is some hope.. -Sean ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: linux: cannot load ssl library
Hi Sean, I've recorded this defect with the Quality Control Centre. Although there wasn't even a category for SSL, so hopefully I've put it in the right place. That's the third 'blocker' defect I've recorded in about a week. So much for improved quality. And I can't even test this if this defect is still there in Rev 3 because the beta code expired, and even though I've mentioned that several times in places where one would expect runrev staff to be reading, I've received no new beta code nor any information about where to download the GM.

Re: linux: cannot load ssl library
What happens when you check for updates in the help menu?? I haven't manually downloaded Rev in over a year, and I've gotten every update for the last two years to now. The GM works great for me. There were a couple of funky 3.0 betas a while back. Hi Sean, I've recorded this defect with the Quality Control Centre.

Re: linux: cannot load ssl library
Thanks Stephen, that was an interesting suggestion, and I hadn't tried it in 2.9. However, it just tells me 'there are no updates available'. I was using 'check for updates' in R3RC1 to update to R3RC3, but once the unlock code for R3RC1 expired. it won't even start in order to check for updates.

Re: linux: cannot load ssl library
I wonder where the 3.0 download for Linux even is. I'd like to try it, but I couldn't find it. Maybe I need to hunt through past emails? ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
linux: cannot load ssl library
When I try to make a https connection with Rev 2.9 on linux I get this error: 'cannot load ssl library' (this is running inside the IDE). I have paid for the SSL library add-on (so that's not the problem), and the same stack can make https connections when run on Vista. OpenSSL is installed on the linux machine as this demonstrates: [EMAIL PROTECTED] rev.linux2.9]$ openssl OpenSSL version OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006 OpenSSL quit [EMAIL PROTECTED] rev.linux2.9]$ After searching the list I cannot see anyway to fix this myself. There is nothing in the error message nor in the Revolution documentation that provides one with any information about where the problem might lie. I've seen some suggestions from a few years ago that there were environment variables to set in the script that launches Rev on linux, but the 2.9 version does not launch from a script. Anyway, I created a script and added the variable, but still no joy. I also saw mention that Rev was linked against a particular version of openssl (version 0.9), and unless the minor '8b' in my version matters, it looks like I've even got the right version of openssl installed. I really cannot see why runrev does not provide an openssl library (particularly for Linux where there can be many variations installed), as they do with Windows (one can assume that OS X is stable and predictable target, I guess, so they maybe can get away without providng a library there). It is really exasperating when linux has been advertised as a supported platform but a feature like this is so badly supported. There are several other cosmetic issues with the way Revolution works on linux (which would make me wary of providing a linux version of an application). As a developer I can put up with the irritation/ugliness of those cosmetic issues, but if something like https is broken then I can't do development on linux, without bypassing Rev and using other tools instead. Hopefully someone else has some ideas of how I can fix this. I had hoped that after the new improved linux support in 2.9, linux would have achieved some kind of parity with the support given to other platforms, at least in the things that are within runrev's control (like providing a ssl library, or at least some documentation). Perhaps someone with access to the ssl library and rev installed on linux could try and see if they can make a https connection without getting this error? That would be helpful in determining if it is widespread issue.
