Can't load the gost engine

[Dmitry Ivanov]

Hi there!

I downloaded a snapshot of openssl (20100208) and successfully
compiled it with the following options:

./config --prefix=/usr/local/ --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl/ shared

and then installed it.

Since I'm interested in the gost engine I configured it in
openssl.conf as follows:

openssl_conf = openssl_def

[openssl_def]
engines = engine_section

[engine_section]
gost = gost_section

[gost_section]
engine_id = gost
dynamic_path = /usr/local/lib/engines/libgost.so
default_algorithms = ALL

The problem is, that openssl doesn't seem to be able to load the
engine on first attempt:

OpenSSL> engine

Note that on second attempt the engine loads fine and I see all the
supported ciphers including the gost's ones.

I have no idea what could be wrong. Any pointers?

Thanks in advance.
