Red Hat

Hi there..

I"m new in Linux. Trying to install squirrelmail-imap_proxy-1.2.7 on Red Hat WS 4. Errors from ./configure as shown below:

configure: error: Can't compile without OpenSSL crypto library!!!

Followed the known issue file in the same directory with ./configure --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl/lib but gives the same error.

I got this error in config.log file:

Can someone guide me on how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance...

Do you have OpenSSL installed?

You can get binaries for most hosts for most open apps from trustworthy sources, if the configure/make gets too daunting.

yes, I got OpenSSL installed.

[root@D04 ~]# rpm -qa | grep ssl
xmlsec1-openssl-1.2.6-3
openssl-0.9.7a-43.17.el4_6.1

That's not enough to compile with openssl. Install openssl-devel. It's a fact of life on nearly any binary distro that you have to hunt these down and install them one by one...

Thanks guys. I will give it a try

thanks guys... a big thanks to you all. I managed to installed openssl-devel.

[root@D04 OpenSSL]# rpm -qa | grep ssl

I guess this should be ok.

A good link to find rpm for my case is h°t°t°p°:°/°/rpm.pbone°.°net/ (remove ° symbol) - sorry I cannot post link due to my post is less than 5.

Yes, us hpux guys have a nice repository that tells us where the supporting binary or source is: Porting And Archive Centre For HP-UX Even for other platforms, it's not a bad reference.

Does red hat have this?
