There had been numerous attempts to "fix" the detection of a sha1 library since one exists in different libraries on different platforms. It sounds like it's still not working quite right. Know that you probably do want the openssl version since libcrypto is optimized for many different architectures. For instance, on x86 it is an optimized assembler routine. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
