I doubt there is a lot of distribution without openSSL in the base system. That's why I think we can link on the system openSSL on Linux distribution. That's not the case on the proprietary UNIX system.
I share Guillaume point of view regarding distribution packages, but in a lot of cases, it's not possible to install a new software and even more when it come from an unofficial packager. That's the reason we provide the prebuilt packages on http://prebuilt.fusioninventory.org Best regards, -- Gonéri Le Bouder _______________________________________________ Fusioninventory-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/fusioninventory-devel
