Then I have successfully installed openssl (0.9.8) on a RedHat (i686)
but when I try to go in ruby/ext/openssl and make a
ruby extconf.rb
make
make install
He say things that I don't understand...
Well you could try pasting the error messages here (at a guess you may
not have the development headers for openssl (if you installed openssl
via you distro's package management system there may be a separate
openssl-dev package or something like that))
./config --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl
make
make test
make install (as root)
./config shared --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl
make clean
make
make install (as root)
cd /usr/local/ssl/lib
cp * /usr/lib
To avoid getting the following error later when you compile OpenSSH:
configure: error: Your OpenSSL headers do
not match your library
copy all the SSL include files everywhere:
cd /home/tjnelson/openssl/openssl-*
cd include/openssl
cp * /usr/include
cp * /usr/local/ssl/include
cp * /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl
and then add /usr/local/ssl/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and type
