In trying to build Python, I kept getting the following errors:
Failed to build these modules:
_hashlib _ssl
I had Openssl installed, but whenever I used any software, where Python was
called on to use md5 I'd get errors. This stopped from building several
packages that I wanted. The fix is to go into the source directory of Python
and edit Modules/Setup (or Steup.dist on a fresh build) and uncomment out a few
lines. This may be clear to a lot of people, but not clear to me:
Socket module helper for socket(2)
_socket socketmodule.c
# Socket module helper for SSL support; you must comment out the other
# socket line above, and possibly edit the SSL variable:
SSL=/usr/ssl
_ssl _ssl.c \
-DUSE_SSL -I$(SSL)/include -I$(SSL)/include/openssl \
-L$(SSL)/lib -lssl -lcrypto
