The /usr/lib/lib[ssl|crypto].so.0.9.6 where compiled from the sources of 0.9.6g-engine; they were not installed from somewhere else. Let me explain the whole thing once again. I compiled 0.9.6g from source. The compiled apps/openssl uses the newly created ../lib*.a by default. This binary works as expected. After making 'build-shared', (manually) installing lib*so* in /usr/lib and making sure that other programs which need them (eg. openssh) work fine, I (manually) changed the apps/Makefile to use the /usr/lib[ssl|crypto]*so libraries instead of ../lib*.a. It's _this_ binary that shows the erratic behaviour. This is _not_ the apps/openssl binary created by default. > If this was a general problem with shared libraries vs. static ones, > I can tell you that we would have been in trouble for a long time > (when building 0.9.7 (in beta) with shared library support, you get > openssl linked with the shared library, and if there was any problem > like what you show us, we would already have discovered it). As I mentioned earlier the apps/openssl binary created by default works fine (and this might explain why no similar problem has been reported). It's the binary that I manually compiled using lib*.so which gives me problems. > I assume there is a /usr/bin/openssl, so if you run the following > command, what version number do you get? > > > /usr/bin/openssl version Irrelevant. It's apps/openssl that I have problems with. $ apps/openssl version OpenSSL 0.9.6g [engine] 9 Aug 2002 Thanks for your reply. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
