Re: wget 1.7, linux, -rpath

[karl]

Replacing -rpath  with -Wl,rpath  

It has to be -Wl,-rpath, not -Wl,rpath (with the - on rpath too).

All I can say is that after I made that change, the ssl test worked for
me on redhat 7.1 (and so did the ssl functionality :).  I can see how
your other changes might be needed in other cases, though.

On another topic, you might consider upgrading to autoconf 2.50.  It has
a number of nice new features, and at least for me (i.e., Texinfo), the
upgrade was pretty much painless.

Thanks,
karl

Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 The ssl support is much appreciated in wget 1.7.  But there is a problem
 with the configure support that makes it think ssl can't be used, at
 least with gcc 2.95.2 on my redhat 6.2 system:

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately the SSL test does not work on
linux at all. Replacing -rpath  with -Wl,rpath  will solve part of
the problems. You may want to try if the attached patch works for
you. Note that this is an unofficial patch and while it may help
solving the SSL check problem, it may break other things.
