Tim, thanks for the speedy reply. Sorry to say I'm still stuck. I downloaded the ssl1.5 package and unpacked it.
I figured the next step would be, "python setup.py install" Here was the output: looking for /usr/include/openssl/ssl.h looking for /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl/ssl.h looking for /usr/contrib/ssl/include/openssl/ssl.h Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 167, in <module> ssl_incs, ssl_libs, libs = find_ssl() File "setup.py", line 142, in find_ssl raise Exception("No SSL support found") Exception: No SSL support found Everything on this Debian box was installed via the aptitude package manager. Is the conflict here that it's looking for directories that would be there had I installed from source? That's just my wild guess. Any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated.
