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.
