Just for the record, EPIC5 compiles out of the box on my machine, including the SSL stuff (I've got the latest OpenSSL installed). And my system is even more unusual than Ubuntu. ;-) (In fact it's not even Linux.)
I'd also like to emphasize that cryptography is *NOT* prohibited in Germany, and not even unwanted. In fact, everyone is *encouraged* to use strong cryptography. So I have to assume that Richard either confused Germany with some other country, or his remark was somehow meant to be ironic (but it doesn't make sense anyhow).
