RE: installation problems

[Henderson.David@mail.dc.state.fl.us]

Aaron,

	I recompiled OpenSSL using the following syntax: "./config shared
zlib-dynamic".  This should compile using shared libraries and compression
(dynamically).  However, I am still bombing at the same point during the
build process.  I looked in the config.log again to see if I could find the
entry you left below (which I did).  What do I need to do to make the
OpenLDAP see the OpenSSL shared libraries and not the .a libraries?

Thanks,

Dave Henderson

It looks like your libcrypto.a has references to dl*(). On lots of systems
these functions are provided by a "libdl." Also, on lots of systems, these
functions are only available from shared objects (i.e. ".so" libraries and
not ".a" libraries.)

It's obvious that you're doing your own build of OpenSSL. I would try and
rework that into a shared library build. Failing that, you can try and
figure out a way to put a "-ldl" on that line to get libdl in there.
