libcrypto.so.2

2002-02-11 Thread Daniel Northam

Hello,

I am trying to install a VPN software package that requires 
libcrypto.so.2 and I having problems locating it... I have upgraded my 
openssl package to openssl.0.9.6.c and apparently libcrypto.so.2 did not 
come with that package.  Does anyone know where I can get the 
libcrypto.so.2.  ???

I am using Linux Mandrake 8.1

Sincerely,
Daniel

Do you have the source to that package?  In that case, the best thing
would probably be to recompile it against whatever libcrypto you
happen to have installed.

Unless libcrypto.so.2 is supposed to be in the 0.9.6 series, expect a
big KABOOOM...  or something like that.

If you get a big KABOOOM, I'd recommend getting libcrypto.so.2 through
the proper RPM.  I can't tell you what RPM has it, however.

If you can, you should check exactly which OpenSSL your VPN software
requires and see if it matches something you have, and then make the
appropriate softlinks.

It bears repeating: until OpenSSL 1.0 is out, we give NO GUARANTEE of
binary compatibility between versions.  And no, we haven't reached a
stage where we can even talk about 1.0 yet...  Therefore, trying to
replace one version's .so with another is bound to be a bad experience
(see "big KABOOOM" above).

libcrypto.so.x is included in the libopenssl0-0.9.6c-2mdk rpm-package.

Did you build one yourself? I could never find an up to date RPM. I had to
roll my own, and force RPM to recognize legacy .so files. But of course, you
can get the "kaboom" mentioned, but it's really just a matter of getting the
source rpm's of the problem apps and rebuilding. That generally forces the
app to re-link to the new libs, and I haven't had any problems doing this.

libcrypto.so.2 & libssl.so.2

2001-09-04 Thread Ola Persson

Hi I have a question which I haven't been able to answer myself,

I tried to update my current Kde 2.1 to Kde 2.2 and then kdebase-2.2-3 asks 
for libcrypto.so.2 & libssl.so.2 which I have been able to locate in 
openssl-0.9.6b-6.i386.rpm. The problem is that I have a newer (I think, 
becouse when trying install 0.9.6b-6 it says it is older than current) 
version of opensll namely openssl-0.9.6-9. In openssl-0.9.6-9 I can't locate 
libcrypto.so.2 & libssl.so.2.
If I remember correctly openssl-0.9.6-9 is an update from RH.
Currently using RH 7.1 kernelversion 2.4.

How do I install libcrypto.so.2  & libssl.so.2 so that RPM understands that 
they are there?

Talk to whoever gave you the RPM you're trying to install. RPMs general
look for specific capabilities as registered in the RPM database. They won't
know about OpenSSL if you installed it yourself from a non-RPM distribution
or an RPM distribution other than the one they were expecting.

"Rawhide" is not another version of Linux, it is simply the name of a
repository for optional updates to the current version of RedHat Linux. Of
course, that question is a little off-topic for this list.

As I have said repeatedly, openssl is included with RedHat 7.1. openssh,
sendmail and bind all rely on the package being there. This has been the
case since RedHat 7.0, and will undoubtedly be the case for 7.2. I haven't
checked out roswell (aka 7.1.93) yet, as RedHat have locked off the file
permissions on their ftp site! 

RPM packages contain either pre-built binaries or a source package that will
compile in a pre-arranged way (specified in a "spec" file). They are useful
for maintaining a common installation on multiple systems, or for
administrators who haven't a clue what "make" or "configure" does.

Anyone who upgrades or changes openssl without using the RedHat updates
(details at www.redhat.com/errata/) runs the risk of breaking a lot of code.
Also, the version of openssl with RedHat 7.1 is "hobbled" and does not
include all the cipher support. I've asked an employee of RedHat who has
OK'd the making available of a package that contains all the support for
non-US users. I've yet to get round to doing that though.

Correction to my previous post, RawHide is indeed another version of Linux,
but it is not supported, might destroy all your data, etc. However, I have
taken packages from it (apache-mod_ssl 1.3.20-2.8.4 for example) and they've
worked for me.

Details are at ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/README

Hi, I've written up a page which hopefully answers these questions:

Let me know if anything is not clear. As John said, the RPM you need is
from Raw Hide, so none of this stuff is supported or recommended by Red
Hat. On your own head be it...

No, it's not optional updates to the current release.  It's
an alpha thread that you use at your own risk.  It's basically a
pre-beta rolling release.  It is definitely a good spot to catch up
on recent kernel releases before they make it to the main updates site.

Looks like they just did that a couple of days ago.  I had downloaded
both Beta1 and Beta2 from ftp.redhat.com:/pub/redhat/linux/beta/roswell but
permissions are now set to deny.  Simultanious to that, a 7.2 directory has
now appeared as /pub/redhat/linux/7.2 also with access permissions denied.
Looks like we are on the verge of the 7.2 release and they are preping the
site...  :-)  Wheee...

Relative to the latest RawHide SRPMS (openssl-0.9.6b-9.src.rpm)...

1) Replace the openssl-engine-0.9.6b-usa.tar.bz2 source ball
with the real thing from the OpenSSL site.  (The source
tarball with the RPM has had some things stripped.  That's
part of the hobbling.)

2) Edit the spec file and remove the "-usa" from "Source".

2) Down in %prep, kill off %{SOURCE1} by commenting it out.  (That's
another part of the hobbling).

3) Remove no-idea, no-rc5, etc on the config line.  (Last part of
the hobbling.)

4) Build.  All the RedHat "patches" seem to be compatible with the
non-crippled source tarball.

5) Enjoy.

I think it's worse than that. It appears (looking at all the other betas)
that they've inadvertently deleted roswell from their site and locked off
the directory so that all the other mirrors that use rsync don't delete
their copy! (They might be running short of disk space, but that would be
odd).

I found this out because the md5 checksum on the roswell iso images doesn't
match the entry in the MD5SUM file, so I tried to download from the master
site.

I'm eagerly awaiting 7.2, not least because I hope to upgrade all our 6.2
machines straight to it, and then be able to put off another upgrade for a
bit longer. I suspect 6.2 support will be dropped very soon anyway.

Exactly what I've done already, except I haven't made it available to anyone
yet!
