First thanks Richard Levitte and Steve Haslam who promptly answered my question about crpyt() on LINUX. It was a big help.
Now I have another problem: On DG AViiON machine the "make test" failed with test_bn. I searched openssl-users archive and found that there was a bug report on April 7, 2000 with exactly the same problem but nobody seemed reponded to that report. There is a "core" file under /openssl-0.9.6e/test, apparently from the bombed out "bc". It showed a "segmentation violation: attempted to access unmapped memory". It looked to me that DG has some bug in their "bc" implemtentaion or OpenSSL is pushing too far. ALL OTHER TESTS passed without problem. My question is: is my OpenSSL library usable even with this "bc" problem? Any suggestion to fix/work around it? Can the "bc" be replaced with a GNU one? By the way, I actually had to manually twist the ./config to pass "dgux-R4-x86-gcc" to "Configure" to get the "config" process finished. Without the change, ./config will invoke "Configure" with "dgux", which is not an valid item in the platform table. Thanks in advance for your help!
